Then this past week I was blessed with a Verve Stamps gift card! SO thankful!! I placed my order a few days ago and after I hit send I was so pumped! I cannot WAIT for it to get here so I can play!! I decided to work some energy off and play along in Verve's December inspiration challenge again. :)
I was drawn to the color scheme but more of the deep, richer colors. I also loved the bling so I added a little of it on my creation.
I used one of the stamps from the Scripture Medley 1 (which is on SALE right now!) which is a verse that I strive to daily live by. No matter how I feel or what my circumstances, I give thanks to the One who is watching over me. I know it's not a Christmas theme but I wasn't really in the Christmas card/page mood although I was listening to Christmas music when I made this. Go figure!
I am very much in a Project Life mood so I decided this was going to be another card for a new layout. I have no idea what pictures are going to go with this page yet but I know the right pictures will pop out at me soon enough. I am hoping to do a lot more pages in 2017.
I kept the sketch simple so I could show off this yummy paper that I cannot for the life of me find online! I had a friend give some of her stamping stash when I decided to get back into stamping. (Bless you Michelle!!) so there is no telling where it came from but I LOVE it! The colors are gorgeous and sponging the edges with Tea Dye distress ink really gave it a vintage look.
I was loving this look so much that I decided to make another card for my Project Life page.
I actually got this idea from the scraps from the previous page. I'm really trying to be frugal and use what I have. This sentiment is a digital image from Verve from awhile ago that I've coveted. I just love it! I used my snowflake punch from Stampin' Up! to make the snowflake/flower. I also sponged the edges of this card with the Tea Dye distress ink, which is quickly becoming a favorite of mine.
My Verve package shows it should be here Saturday so don't be surprised if you see a lot more Verve on the blog VERY soon. I can't wait!!
