Viva la Verve Sketch

Hi friends - I was inspired to create using the Week 2 sketch from Viva la Verve (you can see it below) or follow the link. I started with a tag I had on my desk - just a good ole blank tag I had cut at some point and never used. I applied a thin layer of gesso, let it dry, then applied Distress Crayons through a stencil and then used ANOTHER stencil on top of that and applied a thick layer of whipped spackle and Bo Bunny glitter paste - it's soooo sparkly IRL!

I stamped the flowers from Verve's Love's Flower set and colored with Zig Clean Color Brushes using a wink of stella to spread and combine the colors. Not my fave but hey, I made it work! ;)




I added the 'amazing' die and tag line from MFT's Amazing stamp set and matching die - I originally die cut the 'amazing' from the same blue background paper but it just didn't pull all the colors together for me, so I cut it again from some Halloween orange paper - that works! I included a picture of the card with the blue sentiment, which do you like better? I added a drop shadow of the word in black card stock and finished off the card with enamel dots.


Thanks for stopping by; take care!

Hugs,
