Hi everyone! I hope you are having a fantastic Monday!
It’s my turn to host Viva La Verve over on the Verve forum on Splitcoaststampers and this week I have a sketch AND and inspiration photo for you! It’s my first time ever to pick an inspiration photo so I hope you like the one I picked. 🙂
For my card I used Birthday To You Plain Jane, Lean on Me and Dream Big from Verve. To cut out the flower and leaves I used the coordinating dies, Pointed Flower Dies and Dreamy Leaves Dies. My patterned paper is from Echo Park’s All About A Boy paper pad. The background circle is cut using a Spellbinders Circle (large) and the little flag in the corner was die cut using the Flag It Die set from Verve. The ribbon was scrap ribbon I had in my ribbon jar and the bit of twine thread is from May Arts.
I used Distress Markers to color the flower. I started out by filling in the flower solid and added shading using dots. After the dots were applied I went over the flower with a Tombow Blender Pen to lightly soften the dots.
That’s it for me today! I hope you have a wonderful Monday!

This is a wonderful card with so many layers and colors. My eyes kept noticing each layer and the repeat of colors and patterns. Is this an A2 size card, seems bigger?
Thanks for the inspiration!
Jen – your card is stunning, stunning and stunning! Sure to put an extra bright smile on the face of whoever receives it!
If you have a chance, I so want to share my first Verve sketch entry on SCS, but I’m CLUELESS as to how to do so. I’ve uploaded it, but…if you can point me in the direction of what I need to do, so appreciated: Carol
Beautiful card !!
Jen… I wanted to check out the sketch on Splitcoaststampers, but ran into a snag. I get a message that Splitcoaststampers has been infected with malware and it’s not safe to proceed 🙁 ….. Any idea of what’s going on and when they’ll have it straightened out? Just wondering….
