Hey, y'all, what's up? First I want to thank all of you who visited me yesterday and left sweet comments...you made my day!! Did you enjoy the Verve Blog Hop as much as I did? I hope so!
I have a fun card to show you today...I was so excited to hear that Mercy was starting her sketch challenges again. I have been a huge fan of her sketches, so this was fabulous news! She posted the latest one on Tuesday, so I decided to sit down tonight after everyone was in bed and play a little bit. See what you think.
Isn't that a great sketch? I inked up a new stamp from Serendipity Stamps called Never Give Up...I love this sentiment. I think it is super versatile...what a great card for encouragement, friendship, or just because. It was perfect for this sketch, don't you think?
Of course I had to pair it with my favorite paper from the Basic Grey Lemonade collection...love this print! Added some embossing, sponging, stitching, and then topped it off with a ribbon/button combo. I love how it turned out, if I do say so myself!
Well, I gotta hit the sack, so I'm gonna keep this short and sweet...thanks for hanging out with me today, and don't forget to check out Mercy's new sketch on Tuesday! Have a wonderful Sunday!
