I love
this sketch for Viva la Verve April 2014, week 2. Add some fun designer paper and some color,
and it’s perfect! I needed a get well card
for my church card ministry. I liked the
card so well, that I did two! I am
entering this card is 3 different challenges – Dynamic Duo #98, Chevron Chic
April 2014 Inspiration Challenge & Viva la Verve April 2014 Sketch
Challenge. The colors were easy since I
chose to do the Dynamic Duos color challenge for the week. I quickly ran across the dsp in my Stampin’
Up! stash with these colors – So Saffron & Wisteria Wonder which are 2 of
my favorite subtles. I made these 2
colors the focal colors against the background patterned paper – in chevrons of
course for the Chevron Chic Challenge. I
stamped an oval chevron background from the Oh, Hello stamp set and cut it out
in a circle (just barely if you look closely it didn’t quite fit). Instead of a star I choose the floral
embellishments that I colored with a dauber and then sprayed with the Glimmer
Mist. The Glimmer Mist gave me both a
nice sheen and spread the ink out on the flower. You’ll see a peek of the So Saffron flower
behind the daisy like blooms! Finish off
the flower with the Antique Brad and attaché it with a pop-up glue dot –
perfect! I used my newly acquired Verve
Awards Banner Die to make the flags on the lower left of the sentiment circle. I assembled the card according to the sketch
and added a few sequins, and I was done!
Pretty, soft, subtle and perfect for all 3 challenges!

Thanks
so much for stopping by my blog. I know
that I haven’t been as active lately, but I’ve been dealing with some health
issues that have sapped my strength. We
hope to get some answers soon so that I can get back up to speed!
Many
Blessings,
Donna
