VLVSep2012 Wk 2, A True Love Story

I finally got all my cards done for Viva La Verve's Sept. challenges.  For my card I used MME Union Square papers and SU Crumb Cake & Basic Black CS.  The sentiment is from Verve's Love Story set.  I am going to save this card for my daughter & son-in-law's anniversary.  I think they will like it. I also made them a mini album with similar color papers. It is a "LOVE" word album.

VLVSep2012 Week 1, Praying for You

 Another card done for this month's Viva La Verve challenges. This is the sketch from week 1.  This card will be going to a dear friend who has been having some serious medical problems. I hope it will lift her spirits.
The card base is SU Very Vanilla, then Soft Suede and Comfort Cafe designer papers. The sentiment is from Verve's Wonderfully Made.  I stamped the framed from Verve's Making A Statement and cut it out by hand.  The flowers are from Verve's Brighter Days.  I stamped 3 flowers on SU Summer Starfruit, cut out the different layers and mounted them on foam tape. The center panel is also mounted on foam tape.

VLVSep2012 - O Christmas Tree

Here is my card for Verve's Viva La Verve Sep Sketch, week 3.  I am working on getting a head start on my Christmas cards.  I used Verve's O Christmas Tree stamp set. The tree is stamped in SU Gumball Green and cut out with circle nestabilities and matted on a nestabilitie scallop circle.  I inked the edge of the circle with SU Bashful Blue ink while still in the die, and added a grey shadow with a promarker.  The red pearls are by Recollections from Michael's.  DSP is SU Be of Good Cheer and Gumball Green and Very Vanilla CS.  The sentiment is cut with a Spellbinder's tag die and inked with Gumball Green ink. The ribbon is SU Cherry Cobbler.
Size:  5-1/2" square.
