Viva La Verve Sketch-Week #2

I also played along with the sketch for week 2 over at Viva La Verve.  Loved it!  It was so easy to put this card together, and I even pulled out some stuff that I hadn't played with in a loooong time! (If ever!)

OK, there's the sketch... and here's what I created!

My colour combo of Crumb Cake, Bermuda Bay and Pink Pirouette is just lovely.  Sort of a feminine, burlap, vintage-y vibe... at least I think so anyway!  I stamped my Hardwood on Whisper White in Crumb Cake ink.  The white doily received a sponging of Bermuda Bay ink. I used my Little Leaves die, and when I was getting that out, I found these flower dies... who knew?  They are from the Birds & Blooms Sizzlits set of dies.  I finished them off with some sponging for depth, added a few pearls, and called it done!

Thanks for looking!

Gift For Baby - VLVMAR2014

I decided to play along with the Viva La Verve challenges.  I actually don't have any Verve stamps, but they're not snobby about that, so... I had some fun!  And who knows, I could be the winner of the $100 Verve voucher!  I love their sentiment stamps so much!  And  I love a challenge to get the creative ideas flowing too.  The first week of March has a sketch and colour challenge, and although it isn't necessary to combine them, I did.

Here's my card for week #1.

My Labels Framelits unfortunately don't nest that closely together, so I just cut around my white one by hand!  It turned out pretty good though.  The colour combo of Pool Party, Gumball Green and Baked Brown Sugar was perfect for a baby boy card, and there are a few ladies on our church who are expecting babies in the next couple months, so I'm sure to need one soon!

Thanks for looking!
