Viva La Verve...

Now that things are a "little" quieter on the homefront... I was able to get some stamping done, yeah me!! Worked on the Verve weekly sketches {week 2 and 3} ... check out the challenge on SCS!! Just participate in each sketch, post to the champions thread and you have a chance to win the next Verve release.... yes, prizes to be won!! As well, Verve is having a Memorial Day weekend sale... go grab some of the most fabulous flowers and sentiments!!

This card was made with Diva Maureen's sketch...


Now... I am not normally a "purple" person but, I got this Lilly Bee picket fence dp and then, bought some PTI ribbon {no purple in my stash} and combined with kraft. Made two scallops with Verve's Sweet Scallop Tag die {one in the text dp and one kraft}, cut the kraft to fit the middle, stitched, and added the sentiment in early espresso. Used the blossom nesties and stitched one with kraft {use the next smallest nestie from the panel you will put on your card, lightly outline with a pencil and stitch-ONE stitch at a time, takes a little time but, works perfectly- tip from Jody Morrow}. Sarah Martina Parker has been the MUSE at CASE study this past month and she likes to add paint on her cards. I added a little white paint on the polka dot panel and to the wood butterflies... not the expert at this but, wanted to "spread my wings" and try, yeah I know corny!!

The next layout is from Diva Amy.....



















Pre-ordered all the CC line a while back.. thrilled when it came and have hardly used {I think I have been on a dp kick with all the new stuff that has come out.... yes, I SAID I was easily enabled, LOL!! DP is from Cosmo Cricket's Social Club, added some stitching, crochet trim with ribbon intertwined, large prima flowers, Jenni Bowlin button and blueberry divine twine from The Cats Pajamas. The sentiment is from Verve's Swirling Hearts and stamped on Verve's Charming Oval dies, kraft divine twine, and pearls from Pizazzaplenty.

TFL!! Hope you are having a wonderul and glorius holiday weekend {tomorrow is the pool and cooking out on Monday at my house}!! Appreciate when you stop by and leave a comment, makes my day!!
