First of all I just need to share some wonderful news with you. I am still bouncing off the walls because yesterday I found out I was this month's Verve Sketch With A Twist winner!! I was totally shocked and had to read the thread a few times to make sure it was me LOL! I can clearly remember doing the very first Sketch With A Twist Amber put out in January of this year. So over forty challenge cards later, my name was drawn, which means I get the entire next Verve release for free! Thank you, Julee!! I can't wait to see what Julee creates for the next release. I'm hoping for Valentine's Day and some Spring themed stamps as I love hearts and flowers. Will have to wait and see - that will be the tough part!Okay, I think I've settled down enough to write about Mercy's sketch this week :D As usual, this is another fun sketch to work with. If you have never checked out Mercy's blog, you can do so here. She has a sketch challenge every Tuesday and posts wonderful cards throughout the week.
Today's card is a quick and simple one. For some reason this little heart flower stamp jumped out at me while I was trying to decide which stamp to use for the sketch. Because of its small size, I turned the card into a 4 x 4 (not the truck type LOL) to keep things well proportioned. The DP came from my stash and ironically it is covered with basically the same image as the stamp! I added an extra white mat around the DP so the red horizontal strip didn't overlap on to the red base. I used my scalloped oval and oval nesties to frame the image and then put heart brads over the heart images for a bit of dimension. Some olive ribbon and three brads finished things off.
That's it for now. Next up is this week's Mojo Sketch. Thanks for popping by!
