My Viva la Verve September Week 2 Sketch entry using the Happy Place stamps. I decided to make a paper flower from the Verve flower stamp. I stamped three images, cutting each one out smaller than the next. This stamp is perfectly designed with such layers. I sponged the edges in Cracked Pistachio Distress ink, then curled the petals similar to my DIY paper flowers in
THIS tutorial.
I was just so pleased to use some of the sunburst paper in my collection for the circle elements in this sketch. I have had a hard time with thinking of new ways to use the many circles found in VLV sketches.
This amazing burlap trim was a clearance find at Michael's for 50 cents. :)
I just love this stamp so much more now! It is so different compared with
THIS card or
THIS card where I've used it.
And I have to tell you this little happy sentiment is one of my favorites, just darling!
