One of my very favorite things about Verve images is, not only do they all stand beautifully alone, but they're so versatile that you can combine most any set with another. For this card I used images from 3 of the newest sets. The sentiment and side flourishes are from the set Blessings, the center border piece is from the set Relax, and the corner flourishes are from the set One Person. Don't they all work beautifully together?!?!?!And this was so easy to make. I used only two ink colors for the images: Olive (Brilliance) and Jumbo Java (Versamagic). I ink distressed the edges with Pumice Stone (Ranger Distress), and added an elegant border with the Layered Arches Border Punch by Martha Stewart. The ribbon is Silk (May Arts), and the button is PTI.
That's it. Easy and elegant.
I hope you're enjoying your weekend and that this first week of May is a fabulous one for you.
I'm busy getting ready for my son to come home from college. He's bringing a friend along with him to work for us for the summer. We're really looking forward to it. Two big boys....yikes, I'm going to have to readjust my grocery shopping list and cooking!!! LOL
