After a holiday hiatus, the Viva la Verve sketch challenge is starting up again for the new year and Amber has a really super sketch for us! I already had these flowers stamped and cut out and the leaves were extras from a previous project, so this card took hardly any time to throw together. I also made this for Wendy's F4A challenge to use the following recipe:
1. 3-D flower
2. Gem/rhinestone
3. EF
4. Die/punch
5. Designer paper
OK...this is where I start growling and where you start imagining the dotted swiss panel was run through the Big Shot with the dotted swiss EF. It's lying here on my desk, so is that close enough? I had already glued the flower and leaves down when I remembered I forgot the embossing step and I simply did not tear it apart to redo it! I'm hoping the challenge police won't throw me out!
What did I use?
STAMPS: Kind Words (sentiment), Hope Blooms (flower) - both by Verve
PAPER: Black, Melon Mambo, Lucky Limeade, Antique Cream by Creative Imaginations
INK: Versafine Onyx Black, Melon Mambo (to sponge edges)
ACCESSORIES: Rhinestones by Prima Marketing, Fern punch by MS, Foliage die by Spellbinders.
