This must be a record......think I've posted every day this week; may give myself a day off tomorrow!
When I saw the Viva La Verve Week 2 sketch I just wanted to play:
Here is my take on the sketch:
The designer papers are from a 12x12 pad called New Leaf which I picked up at a craft fair for a ridiculous price. I used my Tonic oval and rectangle dies for the half oval and sentiment. The oval was embossed using a lovely floral embossing folder but it doesn't have any information on it at all so I can't let you know where it's from (but I've had it a long time). I thought just leaving the embossing on the oval was a nice subtle touch. The sentiment is from Heartfelt Creations HCPC 3474. I added some punched butterflies and Liquid Pearls to finish the card.
Thanks for dropping by - hope the weather is as good with you as it is here in Somerset.
Happy crafting.
This is a gorgeous card!!! I love the serene colors and the 'just right' umph you added with the stripped paper and luscious satin bow! Hugs, Rebecca
