All you Need is LOVE....

and a "little chocolat"!! Started on this card Friday eve' after going out to dinner with DH, DD, and fiance'. It is for the Verve Get Your Diva On challenge hosted by Diva Maureen (Moe) posted on SCS... Pretty Purse Plastic. She gave us inspiration pics of three gift cards or we could find our own...in our purse??!!

One of those cards was from Michaels AND it was red/black/white... one of my fav color combos but, I got to piddling and started using chocolate instead of black. So, I have fiddled and fiddled and fiddled with this thing... and finally decided this is it.

My card...

And... the gift cards I found to match (LOL!!). 
















Had this ATC type card that I purchased on Etsy (at a shop that Teresa Kline mentioned, can't remember which one...sorry!) and this Verve sentiment is perfect for it. Added some SU chocolate chip ribbon with Wild Orchid Krafts lace and a bunch of buttons with divine twine (linen and chocolate). The background paper is Waltzingmouse Stamps Gingham & Co stamped in early espresso and Verve's heart from Hearts on Fire stamped in real red. Sentiment is from Verve's Love's Flower.

TFL!! Love when you stop by and leave a comment...hope you have had a wonderful weekend!! After the last couple of months I have to tell ya'... Life is Good (Verve Plain Jane with this sentiment just arrived at my house and I think I NEED to ink it up to celebrate!!
