This weeks Verve sketch is a wonderful one and the twist was to add texture. I used the CB EF for my texture and added a few pearls by the sentiment. I based the card around the DP. I just love these colours together - they just make me smile - and we need to smile as we are roasting out here!!! It hit 35C with humidex yesterday (that's 102F) and we are supposed to hit 41C with humidex (114F) on Wednesday UGH!
We don't usually get those kind of temps out here on the coast so very few of us have air conditioning. Makes for a sticky, hot day, that's for sure! Think we may have to pack up and go to the beach where we can cool off in the ocean!!
Thanks for looking and have a great day

Your card is really cool in spite of those hot temps you're having right now! Whew! It makes me hot just thinking about it! I love the colors, and great texture you added. Those mini pearls look great on the sentiment too!

Beautiful card! Love the colors and the pearls. OMG - temperatures that high and no air conditioning??? I sure hope that doesn't last long - good luck staying cool.

Marisa this is so pretty. You always do the best layers on your cards. I really struggle with that. I love the tiny little pearls. They really add to your sentiment image. Great job...
