Final Post for GIVEAWAY: Viva La Verve Sketch Biltz - #11



Hi, Friends.....

I am back with Post #11......the FINAL POST for my big 11-Post Blog Blitz where I made 11 cards using the Viva La Verve Sketch 2I can't believe I managed to get these all blogged!!!  YAY!!!


Remember that I have a giveaway going on during this Blog Blitz so take a look at THIS POST for details. Comment by 11:59 pm April 30, 2016 on any or all of my eleven Blog Blitz posts answering the question(s) for each post to be entered. 




Here's the sketch that I used for these eleven cards that I am showing you in this Blog Blitz:







For my final card I have another orange and pink cupcake card using the adorable little HA set!

I had been hoarding the background striped paper, but.....Hoard No More!!! (I have to keep saying this to myself....over and over!) I am so glad I used it because I think it is perfect for this happy and celebratory final card of my Blog Blitz! What do you think?

Supplies used include:
Hero Arts Sparkle Clear - Cupcakes
Versafine ink - Smokey Gray
Faber-Castell Art-Grip Aquarelle Watercolor Pencils

  3. This so reminds me of my brother's cats - he has to put his loo paper in the cupboard so that they don't do this!
    Lovely card - great combining of spots and stripes. I really think I should go back and have a look at some of your blog blitz posts when I get the chance. I really have only had a quick look at the cat pictures as they have come up on my reader as I have been unwell all week!

  6. I think this card is lovely too, Janis.
    My fav. part about this blitz was the challenge! As I've said before, I like the idea of using leftover products in our stash and I think it much more fun challenging myself to use what I have. With that being said, again, I like to use up products so I don't feel so guilty about buying more...LOL
    Its been fun. Glad I found time today to catch up!

  8. My favorite part of the blog blitz is seeing all these hilarious kitty photos! Where do you find them all? My favorite is the kitty with the yarn in his mouth!
    Take care!

  9. Oh yummy! This card reminds me of a creamsicle on a stick! Or maybe one of those orange flavored Hostess cupcakes that seem to appear only during the spring and summer months. (yes,I am a connoisseur of junk food). Either way, I love this lively orange confection and I thank you for inspiring us (and me in particular) with your eleven happy sketch cards this week. You almost made me a fan of sketches! As for my favorite part of the blog blitz, it was letting us share in the discovery of how many ways this sketch could be used...and how a card plan can often go astray as your paper scraps develop minds of their own. Still have to laugh that you failed to make even one masculine card in the bunch!! Thanks for a creative and entertaining blog blitz and celebration!

  10. I was going to say YUMMY! And saw the last blog commenter wrote it LOL So I'll start by saying, "How Delicious, Janis!" Lovely citrusy colors in the background with that beautiful sketch, and the perfect touch of sweetness in your cupcake! Do I smell orange or tangerine - either way, it smells great! Beautiful card, and so pleased you were able to blog all the cards. I've had a look and they are all so unique and lovely! Hope you are doing well, Janis. Hugs, de

  11. Who says you can't put spots and stripes together. what do they know!!!!! Do we get to have the masculine card now though? Loved seeing all your creations. Best part for me is seeing how you have contrived to get even just a tinsy bit of pink creep in each time which just goes to show that your really a pink girl at hesrt just like me. Hugs Mrs A.
