VLVApr03 Flowers for a Friend
Added to Favorite

Poster: dakotastamper

 The Viva la Verve sketch challenge this week calls for a twist of colors, using Summer Sun, More Mustard and Baja Breeze. Here's the link:

Forums at Splitcoaststampers

I dug out a retired hostess set called Flowers for a Friend because the shapes seemed like they'd fit the layout. Stamped the small flower in Summer Sun onto Very Vanilla twice. Then stamped the outline stamp in More Mustard using a Stamp-a-ma-jig. Cut these out using circle punches. Did the same thing with the long flower onto a narrow panel of Very Vanilla. Sponged all the edges with More Mustard. Layered the long flower onto a strip of More Mustard card stock after using the scallop edge punch on one of the long sides. Added two mustard brads.

Used a rectangle Nestie to cut out a Baja Breeze panel and embossed it with the Floral Fantasy embossing folder. The larger baja panel is embossed with the Script folder. Both panels have piercing in the corners. Stamped the sentiment in Baja Breeze, then embossed the vanilla card base with the Swiss Dots folder. Thanks for looking.
