Going Crazy For Verve Challenges
When I first saw this Verve sketch the circle part threw me off a bit. However, once I got to working on the card, it wasn't as bad as I'd made it out to be.
I combined the sketch with this week's Crazy 4 Challenges colour combo. So many wonderful Fall colour combinations out there right now - love it :)
I couldn't wait to use the flower from the Kind Words set as I have neglected it in lieu of the flowers from Dream Big and Great friend which I have been using so often. Now it was this darling flower's time to shine :) I used one of the leaves from the Dream Big set to create a flower bed and added some black half pearls to the flowers to make them Black Eyed Susans :) A few more black accents and my card was done like dinner. Four down and one to go.
Foot is feeling much better today so I better get to the last sketch today as I won't have the excuse of not being able to do much so the foot can heal LOL!
Have a fabulous day :)

I'm so glad to hear that you are healing up well! It's always so frustrating to not be mobile, or as mobile, as normal. (read: I hate depending on others, lol!) Wishing you continued healing and lots of stamping time! :)
