Hi, Friends.....
I am so glad that a few of the March challenges have some spillover days into April. Life was so insane in March that I really didn't get any creating done at all.
I suddenly remembered about the Verve March Inspiration Challenge and....hooray!...it hadn't closed yet...but today is the last day. The theme is Green and here is the inspiration photo Julee gave us. Here's what I made:
That wispy dark shadow you see across the lower part of the card is tulle ribbon wrapped numerous times around the panel and tied into a bow. It looks hideous in this photo, but is soft and dreamy IRL. You will have to take my word for it..... LOL!!
Products used include:
Verve - New Mercies stamp set
Core'dinations Vellum
Versamark Ink
Stampendous - Clear Embossing Powder Clear Bark: Item #EP505
Prima flowers
Verve - Sprightly Sprigs die set
Scrap of K&Co. paper for background
Scraps from my stash for leaves
Spring green brads from stash
Tulle ribbon from thrift store
This card reminds me of spring because of its deep colors that look like a rain-drenched woodsy area. We get lots of rain here this time of year.....relatively speaking, that is. Idaho is very dry, so "lots of rain" means maybe 2 or 3 inches in a month!!! lol... The deep greens and browns in this card remind me of the verdant growth and moist soil that come with the spring rains.
Hope you liked my card. Thank you so much for stopping by!!!

ReplyDeleteWhat a fun card! Love that fabulous background. So glad you could join us for Viva la Verve!
ReplyDeleteI am finally getting around to admiring your new uploads and comment on them, whew! I think that March just flew on by for a lot of us and I'm hoping for more time to savor life in the coming months. In the meantime, I am savoring our beautiful card! The woodsy brown sentiment and tulle give this design a warm vintage look and I am loving the gorgeous K&Co background print...wow! Why do I never find things like tulle ribbon at my local Thrift stores? All I find are old crocheted afghans full of holes, and pots without lids.
