Yes, two posts in one day!! This is going to be a "feast week" on the old blogola because of the Verve Release Sketches :) Julee has come up with another wonderful set of sketches, and this is my crack at the first one.
When deciding which Verve set to use, this butterfly just called my name. It's still one of my all time favorite Verve sets. Finally used this Martha Stewart Border punch I've had for a while and quite like the effect it has on the card. One down and four to go!
The kids start their second round of swimming lessons on Monday so I'll be doing my laps and hopefully have kept some of the fitness factor from the first two week set so I'm not dozing on the couch the first few days again. It will feel fabulous to cool off because we are having some nasty, hot weather up here again - ugh! 30C (92 F) with humidity and no air conditioning makes for sticky stamping LOL! Thankfully the nights are cooling down a fair bit so sleeping is tolerable.
Thanks for popping in and I'll be back soon with my next Verve sketch card. The release is this Friday over on SCS on the Verve Forum so if you want to have some fun on a Friday night, come on over and join us :D

ReplyDeleteahhh ... a heat wave would be nice to have ... the other day, we had a total "vancouver" weather day -- socked in and pouring ... ugh ...
ReplyDeleteLove the colorus of your card, Marisa! Beautiful edge punching too!
This is a great sketch and you did fabulous. I am hoping to get to some of these.
ReplyDeleteOh Marisa, this is absolutely darling! I love that butterfly stamp set and after seeing your lovely card, I'm gonna get me that! I love the soft delicate colors that you use and the crisp, clean lines that are your signature style. Wonderful job with the sketch.
ReplyDeleteWay to rock this sketch, Marisa! Great border punch! You go, girl, with the swimming! We filled in our in-ground pool with dirt and there's an additional garage area where it once was. I miss it, but with the kids grown and gone, it wasn't getting used and needed major repairs.
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty card Marisa! Love the border punch, paper and beautiful butterfly :)
ReplyDeleteAwww... Very sweet, great side panels. It is hot and humid here also. Try to stay cool.
ReplyDeletefabulous border...wow!!! And that ribbon with button is too yummy :)
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful, Marisa! I love the punch for the edge - it all works perfectly together =)
