Viva la Verve

There's a new challenge in town! Awesome Verve Diva Amber will be hosting a weekly challenge in the Verve Forum on SCS called Viva la Verve. Here is my card for the first challenge, a sketch with a twist. The twist was to use hardware. I dusted off one of my favorite Verve sets that hasn't been used in a while. . .Thankful Blossoms. I used the Raspberry Tart Designer Series paper and some Purely Pomegranate. I colored the butterfly using Rose Red, Regal Rose and Old Olive markers. I had some pink rhinestone brads that matched perfectly to use as hardware.

Why don't you give the sketch challenge a try? Be sure and look for a new challenge each Friday! And don't forget, sneak peeks for the new Verve release start on Monday, January 5th! Thanks for stopping by and have a great day! SUPPLIES USED: Stamps- Thankful Blossoms (Verve Stamps); Ink- Tuxedo Black (Tsukineko); Paper- Raspberry Tart DS, Purely Pomegranate (SU); Accessories- circle punch, Regal Rose, Rose Red and Old Olive markers (SU), Super Jumbo scallop circle punch (Marvy Uchida), rhinestone brads (Darice), Cotton Candy Stickles; Finished card measures 4.25"x 5.5"
