Birthday Wishes with VLV sketch

(Click on the photo to see the sparkle on the leaves and flower better)

Charmaine has designed the sweetest sketch for this week's VLV Sketch challenge over in the Verve Forum on Splitcoaststampers. I used a sentiment from the Verve set Making a Statement for the strip in the sketch, and a gorgeous flower made by Connie (Conniecrafter). A little while ago she sent me a card with some goodies inside: Beautiful handmade flowers and some gorgeous lace ribbon. See the lace along the vertical panel? Yep, that's from sweet and thoughtful Connie. I just added a Basicgrey button with a rhinestone to the flower and some glitter to the petals. Ya'll know I love to add a bit of sparkle. The dp is all from Simple Stories' Baby Steps Paper Pad.

Verve is having a Spring Sale too. 15% off select stamps and dies, so be sure to check it out. I mean, who can resist some fabulous Verve images?


That about sums it all up. Short and sweet for today. Be sure to check out the VLV sketches. They're super fun, and there's Verve to win if you participate in all of them this month.

Thanks for visiting!!
Happy stamping my friends!! :)
