Happy Thursday, everyone! Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. I still have my tree up. I usually do not take it down until after the new years, but I am thinking I may take it down early this year just to get the house straight. Anyway, I have a card to share with you today using some Verve and something NEW. I won some blog candy last week and was sent this wonderful package from ( Lynn Darda "From My Bungalow"). You can read about my win here. Woo Hoo!
Anyway, I got this really cool kit. I looked through the goodies and found these cool 4 X 6 transparencies that I just thought would make some really cool overlays to a card front. The one I chose to use for this card has some stitching on it(luv that), flourishes, and little tabs with Live, Laugh, and Love already there. All I had to do was stamp a Verve sentiment over it using Staz On ink. I am using Verve's Words of Wisdom stamp set. I used a mixture of a black and a purple ink only because my black Staz On pad is about dried out and my refill is empty. It has been awhile since I drug out the Staz On I am thinking. So, I stamped it and laid it over the card front. I used adhesive under the ribbon portion so it does not show through. I did feel the need to add a big honking bow and layer some of the From the Heart die set for a fun accent. I am using the Mojo221 Sketch and the Inspiration picture from this week's Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger.
As always thanks so much for stopping by!
Blessings for a Wonderful New Year!
