Hi Everyone! I didn't get a chance to come back and post this yesterday, but here it is now. :) I created this card this weekend to play along with a couple Verve challenges. I played along with the August Get Your Diva on Challenge (to use tags or create a set of tags) and the Viva La Verve August Week #3 sketch challenge.
I used the Bloom and Grow and Text Objects stamp sets from Verve Stamps along with the Elegant Leaves die (also from Verve Stamps). I stamped the leaves on cream cardstock with archival black ink (CTMH). My patterned papers are from My Mind's Eye's Alphabet Soup Girl line. I stamped the text print (using tea dye distress ink) over a piece of patterned paper that I had die cut for my tag. Then, I added a sentiment and distressed the edges of all my patterned papers, tag, and leaves using antique linen and tea dye distress ink. I added lots of stitching and some crocheted lace from May Arts. I finished off my card with some 5mm pearls, 25mm white wild roses, 15mm white open roses, 8mm white semi-open white roses, and heart stick pins from Wild Orchid Crafts.
Have a great day!
Niki

Oh, Niki...I saw this card in the Verve gallery on SCS and I just adore it! All those panels coordinate perfectly and the black accents just give the colors such wonderful appeal! Awesome stitching, too!
One question though, ...Is there anything you CAN'T do? :)
