New Mercies
I'm behind on this months Verve's sketches so it's catch up time!
I needed a sympathy card for a friend whose mother recently died, and immediately went to Verve's fabulous New Mercies set. So many fabulous sentiments for these difficult times - thank you, Julee :) Loving these new Verve flower dies so they mysteriously appeared on this card ;)
Pulled out some DP from my dwindling Costco DP pack I got five years ago and matched it up with some purples.
One down and two more sketches to go. Back soon with the next one :) Until then, have a great day!
What's In It?
Stamps: New Mercies, Sunny Days (Verve)
Paper: Lavender Lace, Pretty in Pink, Rose Romance, Mellow Moss, Costco DP
Ink: Black, VersaMark
Accessories: Lacy Oval Nesties, Flower and Leafy Sprig Dies (Verve), 5/8" Purple Satin Ribbon, Button, Twine, Dimensioanls

ReplyDeleteLove your colors and flowers. I'm having trouble getting the loops to remove from the nesties dies without bending or tearing. Do you have a secret for neat loops?
