Viva La Verve July Sketch #1

Photo Details

Poster: Irishlatte

I didn't think I liked this sketch at first, but WOW!! I love it! The twist this week it to distress, not be distressed LOL. I used my SU distressor on all the panels...my desk is covered with paper dust now.

So pretty! I love the colours and that little clip is a great addition. I found the distressing to be very 'dusty', too. LOL

Great job

Love the sewing on the panels and the distressing. Great use of the flowers and a wonderful touch with the clip. Wonderful Verve Sketch card!
