This week's sketch and inspiration picture are brought to us by Anya. Just love this picture! I was inspired by the flowers and all the green. Orange got a bit left out so I can say I focused on the bottom left side of the picture wink, wink {grin}.
Unfortunately I was in need of a sympathy card. A friend of mine lost her disabled son to pneumonia last week and it just breaks my heart to think about it. I used K & Company's Classic K McKenna paper and used Verve's fabulous Deepest Sympathy Plain Jane for the sentiment.
Want to win a $100 gift certificate to the Verve Stamps store?! All you have to do is complete all the sketches in a given month and load them on the Verve Challenge Thread on Splitcoast Stampers and a random winner will received the gift certificate. Easy peasy, and with a recent release and another one coming in the near future, it's the perfect way to get some spending money :)
Thanks for popping by today and have a fabulous day!
