A Baby is a Bit of Stardust......


Hi there!  I hope you're all having a great weekend!  It's Memorial Day weekend here in the States and we have no plans....ahhhh.....love that!  I had a little stampy time today and made this card for this week's Viva la Verve sketch over in the Verve forums on SCS.  Tosha gave us this awesome sketch to play with!  I love tilted panels, so I was game! 


One of my best high school friends gave birth to her second son, Cole, last Monday so this was the perfect opportunity to make her a card!  I pulled out my most favorite Verve set, To the Moon, and got to work.  The bear was colored with Copics, cut out and popped up for dimension in the frame from the same set.  The frame was cut out with Square Nestabilties.  The kites were paper pieced and finished with some Divine Twine.  I was looking for the perfect sentiment and found it in another Verve set, Practically Perfect.  The sentiment was stamped in Pacific Point ink.  Some buttons tied with some more Divine Twine and machine stitching finish the card!  All the patterned papers are from the October Afternoon Campfire line.



Verve is having an awesome Memorial Day Weekend Sale!  Now through May 31st all stamps are 20% off and all dies are 10% off!  This is the perfect time to pick up those sets I know you've had your eye on!  Happy Shopping!

Thanks for stopping by!
