Happy Monday!  I am here with a card to share today using this week's VLV March Week 1 sketch!  Amber is the host!  Love this sketch, Amber.  I chose to do a horizontal A2 for my card using the sketch on its side.   I am using Verve's Love's Flower, Feel the  SunHappy Days, and New Mercies stamp sets.  I stamped the big Love's Flower three times and paper pieced.  I stamped off the leafy image from New Mercies to stamp behind the sentiment for add dimension.  The sentiment is what I like to call a sentiment builder.  It required three different stamps to get the complete sentiment.  I tried to vintage it up a bit with some ink.  These colors are bold and bright.  Love how it turned out.

As always thanks so much for stopping by!  Next on the hop is Jackie's Blog.
