...these are a few of my favorite things! (I couldn't resist, sorry!) Seriously though, I find that I'm reaching for these embellishments almost every time. I think I need to start mixing it up a little... LOL!
I made this card for the Viva La Verve 03 sketch and the OCC's Emboss Resist challenge. I have to say...I had the hardest time trying to get a decent picture of this!
The Viva La Verve "twist" this week is to use some pink somewhere on your card. Well, I did that...and then some! LOL!! I started by embossing this heart from the Hearts on Fire set (from Verve Stamps) in Ivory onto watercolor paper. I then did a quick "wash" over them using a wet paint brush and re-inkers (Blush Blossom and Cameo Coral). The rest is pretty self-explanatory...lots of sewing, scallops, and don't forget the button and pearls! LOL!
Be sure to check out the new weekly challenge (Viva La Verve!) in the Verve Stamps forum over at Splitcoast! As always, there are some Vervalicious prizes!! :-)
You can check out what the other OCC ladies created by visiting their blogs: Amy, Cindy, Dawn, Denise, Jackie, Jennifer, Julee, Kim, Lynda, Silke or see them all together on the OCC Blog.
Well, I will be back a little bit later today with a fun little project to share (and a template! :-), so be sure to stop back by! (OH, and I promise my pictures will be better!!) LOL! Hugs, Laurie
