Hello!
Hope you all had a great weekend, I did!! Too bad it went so quickly! Anyway, I was able to get a card done based on this weeks Viva la Verve sketch challenge with a scored lines twist.
Here is my card ~
The base of this card is Baja Breeze with a mat of Soft Suede, Whisper White and then a gingham piece of DP from SU!'s Slumber Party Collection. The ribbon is from SU! and is Soft Suede polka dot and white tafetta. The Kraft CS was embossed using my Vines (or maybe it's called leaves??? Can't remember!! LOL!!!) embossing folder and then I scored lines at the top and bottom using my Scor-pal. This piece was then matted on Soft Suede and I added the clear Basic Grey rhinestones. The images are from Verve's ~ Miracles Blossom set. I stamped the flower pop 2 times using Soft Suede ink, the stems using Always Artichoke and the flowers, 2 times, using Baja Breeze ink. I cut out the second flower pot and flower. I colored the flower pot using Prismacolor pencils and for the flower, added an old Creating Keepsakes rhinestone flower brad to the center and then mounted both of them on top of the first stamped images. I then cut the entire image out using my Labels Four Nesties. This piece was then mounted on top of a larger decorative mat of Baja Breeze using dimensionals.
Have a great day!

You are truly a gifted artist, Lynda. I adore the muted colors and DP you've chosen for your flower pot card. Your embellishments are downright charming too.
