I quick little card to play with a couple of fun challenges, luv the sketch from sweet sunday sketch and the colors from colour me. I used the lil' inker stiched butterflies, colored with Zig markers and added gold glitter for a little shine. The sentiment is from lawn fawn and the sweet scalloped edge and curve are pretty pink posh border dies. Add a little glimmer to your life...sparkle & shine!

June 2015 Day 6 Verve Release Spotlights


A little hodgepodge of colors, patterns, and mix of stamps. I am sooo happy with the outcome, it kinda reminds me of a outdoor scene...in my mind...lol. I stamped the deco border stamp along the top to represent clouds(sorta) and the big scalloped circle is a bloom full of honeycomb and then I added the heat embossed scripture Plain Jane tag,,,cute. You should have come from the FAB Stacey's blog and after me you will head over to the AMAZING Amber's blog. If not, go to the Verve Stamp blog and get the deets! Be sure to stop by all the designers blogs to be inspired and tempted! Add a little glimmer to your life....sparkle & shine!
