This first card is for the SC249 sketch challenge on SCS. I liked the simple layout and thought it would be perfect to feature the sentiment from Swan Song. The sentiment is stamped in black, then I stamped the bamboo branch all around in old olive. I shaded around the panel with mellow moss, old olive and always artichoke, then matted on Kraft. For a background panel, I stamped the Leaves plain jane in whisper white on Not Quite Navy and also matted with Kraft. I finished off with a horizontal band of old olive, embossed with the Organic Flourishes Cuttlebug border and punched with the Martha Stewart half spiral punch.

Oh my gosh, this is stunning! What a fantastic way to showcase that beautiful sentiment. I love all the branches/leaves around the edge of the sentiment layer and that wonderful sponging! You've inspired me to try this with my own Verve sentiments! Thank you, Julee!!
