VLVJUL2011 - week3

I've been pretty busy keeping up with DT responsibilities and finishing up wedding invitations I was hired to make........and working full time and taking care of my family.  Sooooooo, I have fallen behind in participating in the Viva La Verve challenges.  I am going to try to get all of the July challenges done this week so that I am eligible to win some free Verve......or able to feel less guilt when I order more to reward myself for having participated in all of the July challenges.  :)    I loved the sketch from week #3 so I started with that.

Verve Stamps definitely inspire me to produce cards that are somewhat outside my comfort zone, but I always love the end result and this is no exception!  The finished product is always something so delicate and beautiful looking. 


This time I inked up a sentiment from the Feel the Sun  stamp set and paired it with a flower from the One Person stamp set.  I chose some paper from the Basic Grey Hello Luscious paper pad and some PTI kraft, vintage cream, and sweet blush CS.  I sponged the edges with some PTI tea dye duo ink.  I stamped some text from the PTI Background Basics:  Text Style stamp set in SU crumb cake.    I colored the  flower with copics (R00, R01, R02, Y12, Y15) and popped both that and sentiment panel up with foam dimensionals.

Here is the sketch:
