I was 'commissioned' to make an Anniversary card for my BIL to give to my sister - and since I know she loves this Verve set I figured it would be the perfect set to use. Love Chocolate Chip and Baja Breeze together (probably 'cuz these colours just say 'Verve Stamps' to me)! This is pretty much another CASE of a card by one of the awesome Verve Divas - you can see the card I used as inspiration in Laurie Schmidlin's gallery: Because of You, Friend... by Lauraly
Made the envelope with some designer paper I had in a Costco pack...

Heather, I see you on upload!!! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your card Heather. Don't you just love Lauraly's gallery. She's fantastic. I LOVE what you did with this. First of all, I'm jealous, because that's the only dsp I wanted that I didn't get! Second of all, I see you used the new scallop oval punch!! I love how you sponged your card. I'm so horrible at that. I either put too much on or it just doesn't look right. You did it JUST RIGHT!!! Love that ribbon treatment and pearls!!! Oh no, what is that I see, is that SEWING????? I am really jealous now as I LOVE SEWING on cards, but I don't have a sewing machine yet. I had one and loaned it out and never got it back!!! WOW, this is wonderful!!! TFS!

Wow, this is beautiful. I love the colour combo. I also love sewing on cards and the texture it adds. Also, love the way you did the ribbon. Gorgeous envelope too.

Fabulous card, Heather!!! That cruise got those creative genes all rested and relaxed and ready to party LOL! Great sponging (I haven't mastered that as of yet - ugh), love the set you used (on my wish list) and you can't go wrong with that colour combo (I think of Julee every time I see it as it is her signature combo). I'm sure it will be a huge hit. GREAT job!!
