This card is for today's WT 232 and Mojo100 sketch challenge. Okay, I just have to say that I searched for what seemed like forever for something fuzzy. All I could find were dust bunnies and some lint. LOL!!! No, I did find some silk vellour flowers from a flower arrangement I put out at Christmas. I layered two of the flowers.
For this card, I did get the warm and fuzzies when my first Verve order ever arrived in the mail today. I won a Verve stamp set from playing in all of their Anniversary sketch challenges last week. I chose as my FREE set the Bountiful Backgrounds. If you know me, you know I have a thing for background stamps. I did NOT use any designer paper in the making of this card. The top and bottom panels were stamped and sponged. The bordeaux ink blended with the ranger antique linen. It was not expected, but I loved the results.
I purchased from Verve this new set called Enjoy. This is the coolest set!!! This flower which looks like an Iris can also be a butterfly!!! Love that!!! I stamped the solid image, stamped off, then rocked and roll to make the edges darker, I then stamped the outline stamp in same hue. Cut out and added to my card. I finished with some bling!!!
