To the World

I recently got an order of stamps from Julee at Verve Stamps (amazingly fast shipping and great customer service!).  I love the beautiful sentiments in so many of the sets.  I love the fonts, words, everything.  I have a wishlist a mile long and I'm not telling how large my order was! lol   Anyway, I had a chance this week to play along with a couple current Verve challenges so I created this card.

The first challenge I played along with is the April Diva Dare which is April Showers Bring May Flowers so I had to create a card with some beautiful flowers.  The second challenge is the Viva La Verve May Week One challenge which are sketch challenges.  Here's this week's sketch:

Thanks for the fun sketch, Amber!  I always love doing sketch challenges because coming up with a new and fresh sketch can sometimes be the most difficult part of making a card for me.

I used the beautiful One Person stamp set for my flowers and sentiment.  I stamped the flowers with copic x-press it cardstock and tuxedo black memento ink.  I stamped the small flower and the large flower twice.  I colored the flowers with copic markers and cut them out.  I cut the center out of the second lage flower and popped it up with foam adhesive on my large flower  I used the leaves from the second large flower beside the small flowers.   I used some patterned papers from Echo Park's Walk in the Park line.  After die cutting my sentiment with a square nestability die, I sponged some antique linen distress ink around the edge while the cardstoc was still in the die.  I also embossed my oval patterned paper with the Seeing Spots cuttlebug embossing folder before I stitched all my papers.  I added my sentiment and flowers with foam adhesive.

Have a beautiful day!
