Viva la Verve!

Hello!  I decided to sit down and make a couple of cards for the Viva la Verve challenges going on this month.  Amber has chosen to use inspiration photos along with her fabulous sketches, so I couldn't resist!  This was the photo I chose for VLV week 3:

And here is my card:


I thought this SU Parisian Breeze DSP was perfect!  I used the beautiful Verve stamp set Because of You.  I stamped the sentiment with Chocolate Chip, and the flower silhouette with Sahara Sand.  The green dp comes from SU Bella Rose DSP.  I will leave the complete recipe below :)

My next card was based off of this room:

My card:


I used the fab Verve set Just for You.  I stamped the sentiment with Basic Gray, and the sprig of greenery with Old Olive.  The dp is from My Mind's Eye Andrea Victoria.  Now I just need to make a card for weeks 1 & 2!  Thank you so much for stopping by and have a FABULOUS weekend!!!

Kerri, I especially love the second card...that fern image & ribbon is the perfect pop of green for this inspiration room!

Ooooo your blog is bright today!
I love the little corner pearls on that first card with the big and littles to go with the big and littles in the middle. Always so perfectly thought out!
That black, gray and green is a great combination - so fancy-schmancy!

These are beautiful, Kerri. I like that you showed the pic you used as your inspiration. That's a good idea.

You blow me away all the time! Beautiful stuff! I've been stalking the Verve store for awhile and will probably buy something soon. That's what I do, I stalk for a few months and then start buying.

Rebecca said...

I love how soothing both the inspiration pieces are, and your cards match perfectly. The little tiny touch of green in the bottom one is so perfect!
