LOL! Hi everyone! Happy Friday!!! I am off work today and while browsing SCS, came across this thread in the Verve Forum...Weekly Sketch Challenges! How COOL is that! Today's sketch, VLVJan01, has a twist of hardware, so you had to do the sketch and use some hardware! FUN!!
I have been so inspired by Sharon (notimetostamp) and how she uses black & white with a pop of color, so that is what I did here, using Kiwi Kiss as my pop! I used Fluttering By by Verve and the DSP is SU!'s Bella Rose. I stamped the butterfly in Kiwi Kiss directly onto the Bella Rose DSP for some interest. I then stamped the beautiful sentiment from this same set, and added a Kiwi Kiss Butterfly behind it to anchor it. I then used my new Circle Nestabilities to create the circle. For the hardware, I used six black metal brads (I think they are from American Crafts but I am not too sure...). I finished it off with a ribbon knot of Kiwi Kiss Satin Ribbon and then tied a small piece of Black Gingham Ribbon to the knot.
Thanks so much for looking!!!
