Deconstructed Sketch #57-Grace

Good morning! Are you ready for a sketch to play with today? Well, we just happen to have a new Deconstructed Sketch for ya!

Isn't that a fun sketch? Here's my sample with a new Verve Plain Jane!

I'm not sure why the picture is so grainy, but I had to take it at night, so maybe that's why? Who knows, haha! This is one of the cards I made while cropping with Kim the other day! I used papers from MME, some buttons and ribbon from PTI, and the oval stax from MFT (for the sentiment). As I mentioned, this sentiment is a new Plain Jane from Verve, called Grace!

Well, now you have a project to tackle today! Tame that wild sketch baby! Heehee:)

Check out my lovely teammates and see how they've used this sketch!

Viva la Verve! June Week 5--Psalm 3:3

Good morning! It was a beautiful day here in Okinawa, hope your day is great too! I got lots done! Cleaned, took my final, stamped a few cards, went to lunch with my love, went on a little impromptu expedition looking for a dog friendly beach *no luck*, and back home to grill some steaks! Now we're watching shark hunting on Discovery, I like them much more on TV than in the ocean!;)

One of the cards I created today was for this weeks Viva la Verve sketch challenge. You can see the sketch and inspiration pictures HERE! We'd love you to play along with us, Verve stamps are NOT required to play!

Here's my card using a newly released Plain Jane, Psalm 3:3

I used the yellow and green room as my inspiration. The colors I used are Lemon Tart and Spring Moss by PTI. I also threw some Prima flowers and pearls on the card, LOVE the way it turned out! 

Isn't that verve awesome? Great for a friend who needs a little support or pick-me-up! 

Note to self: buy more Prima flourishes! These are so fun!

Well thanks for stopping by today, I hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend! Come back tomorrow for a sneak peek and some new critters from The Greeting Farm! You'll LOVE them!

New VERVE!

Verve just release a bunch of fantastic new sets this past Friday! If you haven't had a chance to check em' out, click here ---> NEW STAMPS!

I had soo sososososo much fun making samples with these new sets, SO much fun!

So are you ready?

This card uses the set "1 Peter 5:7"

The paper is by Cosmo Cricket in the Everafter line! The leaves are a die from SU! For the sentiment panel, I stamped it on a piece of Rustic Cream (PTI) cardstock and cut around it.

This next card features the same stamp set. I used Haiku dp by SU! for the color pallette.

Okay, next card features one of the new Plain Janes, Hebrews 1:11...
I went super clean and simple with this one! Its all one layer! I cut a piece of cardstock 4.25x5.5 and cut a rectangle out of the middle using a nestability die. Then I temporarily glued it to the front of my card and masked it off and then inked it with Tea Dye distress ink. I stamped the Hebrews 1:11 verse in Momento Rich Cocoa on top of the masked inking. I then stamped the new leaves Plain Jane. I finished it off with some cream Jute by PTI.
The last Plain Jane is Psalms 121:1-2...

I used October Afternoon patterned paper and some FAB-U-LOUS Prima Hydrangea flowers, LOVE these things!I got the sketch from the Midnight Madness Sketch #7!

WHEW! Okay, a few more to go;)

NEXT two cards use stamps from Just for You:

This set has the most amazing sentiments in it, really fabulous stuff:)

Next up is my FAVORITE set of this release, Kindred Spirits!

I LOVE the fleur de lis images in this stamp set, doncha think Julee should make a set of different Fleur de lis? I would love that:D Colors on this card are Kiwi Kiss (SU!), Lemon Tart, and Scarlet Jewel (PTI). This next one is my favorite out of the bunch, and the last one I have to share!
I used Riding Hood Red, So Saffron, and Kiwi Kiss ink. I scored the Fleur de Lis background with my Scor-Pal and then stamped the Fleur de Lis in the three colors. I also love that I can use my new Fluer de Lis punch by EK Success:)

Anyhoo, those are my cards for this release! Hope you enjoyed them and hope you get to do a little shoppin;)

Have a great week friends!
