Verve August Week One Card Sketch Mint and Gold

card 1
For the August Week One Verve Challenge, I was inspired by my daughter's sweet 16 color scheme, mint and gold.
 sketch
card 2
 I stamped this beautiful Grace sentiment in a new ink pad, Tree Branch by Wendy Vecche for Archival Ink by Ranger.  This is one more beautiful color!!!  I am going to using it on everything.  It is perfect for a soft, earthy brown that compliments kraft.
card 3
 I tried to follow the sketch, but had to elongate my layering to cover up an image of the Eiffel on this MME paper!  I also kept the strip across rectangular because it just looked better.  It is washi tape from AC Moore.
card 4
 I distressed my edges and finished off the tag with a flower and some vintage seam binding lace.
card 5
The colors in the photo just don't do this card justice.  I'm linking up to the Viva la Verve Challenge HERE.  Hope you like it, Julee!  I just love your stamps!
