Hello! It is Betty! Hope you are having a great start to your week! I am popping in with a quick reminder for the Viva la Verve
Week 3 Sketch + Inspiration Challenge. You still have time to play! I also have a few fabulous creations to spotlight as part of the Verve Weekly Viewfinder.
First up, here is my take on the sketch and inspiration picture!
Can you say, SPARKLE? I just love all the sparkle in the inspiration picture. I see several pillows I would love to own. I let the sparkle and sketch guide me to my card creation. For my card I am using Verve's Remember This and Love Notes stamp sets along with Verve's Cut Above Starry die, Banner Bundle, Wavy Hearts, Jotted Heart, and I Heart U die sets. I finished my card with a tiny bow and a few of Verve's Shine Bright Sequin Mix. I went all out with some sparkle using some gold, silver, and black glitter card stocks.
Here is Stacey's sketch and inspiration picture for this week's challenge.
Now, on to the cards in the Viva La Verve link up this week that deserve a spotlight shout out!
First up is Lori!
I just love the mixture of colors, patterns, and sparkle! Lori used Verve's
Treasured Words stamp set for that fabulous sentiment.
The next card that caught my eye is Charleen's!
I love all the wonderful gold embossed on black elements Charleen uses. The Brighter Days stamp set sentiment sure is front and center with the gold embossing on the black. Very striking, indeed.
My final pick, is Lyn!

I just love the pop of lime and polka dotted stars! Lyn combined Verve's Sweet Treats and Verve's Cut Above Sweet Scallop die to create an amazing focal tag for her card.
Thanks so much to all who have shared their lovely
creations already! There is still time to play along with us!
