I have a quick little Verve card to show you today. I used one of the release sketch challenges for April that Julee created...I love keeping these to use later as a jumping off point for my cards.
I needed a thank-you card, so I pulled out my go-to set Thankful Blossoms. First I stamped the Medallion Plain Jane in Soft Sky ink on watercolor paper. Then I stamped the sentiment on top in Black Stazon. The edges are distressed with my Tonic Distressor Tool, and then I matted the square with black cardstock.The base of the card is also watercolor paper (it had to match!), and I layered the solid side of the Audrey paper from Cosmo Cricket's Dutch Girl collection. I used the patterned side of the same paper for the panel across, layering it on black and then white. After it was all adhered, I stitched around the edges with my sewing machine.
To finish it off, I added a little strip of buttons (I love the way Dawn does it, so I gave it a try!) and crochet thread. I also tied a piece of black May Arts Ruffled Ribbon across the card, then added the main image popped up on dimensionals. I have to say, I love the way this one turned out! I had forgotten about this paper, but man, is it yummy or what??
Well, that's it for me today. I hope you have a wonderful Thursday!

Beautiful. Love those colors. Your work always is fabulous. Full of beautifully done pieces that fall together....
Shannan ... I had to walk ALL the way over here to tell you that this card is da bomb! I truly love it ... is it busy this weekend? I'd like to marry it on Saturday ... if that's okay with you?
Great color combo, love the clean lines, your string-a-long buttons (GREAT idea, btw), and that stamp is one of my favorite Vervies! Okay, Verves. That's what I call 'em though ...
Anyway, lurve this!!
