Baroque Verve



For some reason, when I saw this sketch I thought of Baroque Motifs...not sure why, but glad I did as I like the final outcome LOL!  This is my second card of five for the Verve Release challenge sketches, and a step towards my endless quest of hopefully winning some more Verve (even though I didn't use any on this card!!)

As you can see, the circle became a heart and I used the flourish from Baroque Motifs to fill in the background panel.  Love black and white cards with a pop of colour so I'm a happy camper with this card :)  The little row of bling under the sentiment was to added for that little something on the card.  Now I just need a wedding to go to!

Still very hot and humid here today - ugh - and my hair is living proof LOL!  Glad the kids are in swimming lessons again so we can at least cool of for a portion of the day.   I'll even put up with the "eau de chlorine" smell a second time round!  Back with my next card as soon as I can get it done.

Thanks for popping in and a have a fabulous week!

    So elegant and beautiful!!! Nothing says elegance better than black and white, especially with the silver added.

    so beautiful and sweet, Marisa :) You know I love me some bling :) You might just need to crash a wedding and give them this fab card :) We are having the heat back too...although we've got A/C. Are you enjoying the sneak peeks?

    Elegantly gorgeous, Marisa! I love that neutral color scheme, adds to the classiness of your card. I would be darn proud of this card as well!
    And I feel your pain with the humid weather/nothing you can do with curly hair situation. Mine is just long enough to slick back into a bun which I've worn now for the past 2 months. Why bother, right?

    I bet your kids love when you smell like chlorine - means fun times were had by all =) Another beauty with these sketches...but you always are a fierce competitor in the Verve challenges!
