Here is my card for this week's VivaLaVerve sketch challenge. This is the entrance way that I chose as my inspiration: Forums at Splitcoaststampers
I love all that white, gray, black and green. My embossing folder is inspired by the ferns--loved that settie in the center with the big buttons....thus my corduroy buttons--also both DPs were chosen not only for their color but also their lines. Thanks for looking!! Yeah it is Friday!! My kids and hubby are gone for the weekend so guess what??? I will be stamping and scrapping ALL weekend!!

Great inspiration card, Deb! We picked the same foyer to inspire us. Lucky you...no family to feed and all that time to play! :-) Don't ya just love times like that?!

I'm leaning heavily to this inspiration piece too. Love all the white space. You've done a great job with yours! Love the green and the corduroy buttons are a wonderful touch as is the embossed branch on the green panel. Well done!

This is stunning, Deb! I love the feeling with the circles, verticals and all the textures. The buttons are yummy and the butterflies finish it perfectly. Love it... great job...!

You know, I used the same inspiration picture, but I DID NOT see the green ferns!! Too funny! If I HAD, I would have used a green panel on my card instead of red!! I love the paper and textures you created with your card. Great job!!
