Okay, it is rainy here today and aside from cleaning the house, there is only stamping...woohoo!!! I decided to try one of the Verve sketches for their Anniversary celebration.
Honestly, I do no own any Verve stamps, but I really did want to play. Of course, if I want to try and win some stamps, I must hurry because there are 5 sketches!!! LOL!!!
I have had this SU Nouveau Chic dp for a few weeks. Everytime I thought to use it I changed my mind. I decided today was the day to use this wonderful pattern paper. I actually show 4 of the different patterns. The funny thing is the SU catty says that apricot appeal is the coordinating color, but I used so saffron. It looked more a closer match to me. Poor lighting, maybe. I did sponge the flowers and the so saffron panel with so saffron to warm the cardstock up a bit. I embossed the so saffron panel with SU elegant bouquet folder. I am using Baroque Motifs stamp set to act as my punched flower whimsical stems. I used MS mini flower punches to create a flower that would work with this dp and stamp. I topped those with some tiny and medium silver pearls. There is no sentiment which is freaking me out a bit....lol!!! Was not sure where to put one on the outside of the card. Oh well, it is what it is.

You know what - this card speaks for itself and does NOT need a sentiment! Wow, Betty, this is almost luscious with the papers and textures - does that make sense? The colors are wonderful and oh my word, what a beautiful creation!
