My New Verve

I just got my first order from Verve Visual yesterday, and I was anxious to get started with their stamps. I have been admiring them from afar, and decided to jump in. If I had waited a few days I could have got a 15%discount, what a bummer!! Oh well, I still love what I got, even if it wasn't on sale!! VV is having a guest designer sketch challenge, so I knew as soon as I got my stamps that I wanted to participate. I am not crazy about this card, but I do like it. It is also for the Ways to Use it challenge over on SCS, which is to use rub ons on your card. The sentiment is my rub on, btw!! I used one of my favorite color combos-River Rock, Basic Black and Whisper White. I stamped the images from the VV set Serenity in River Rock then used the outline stamp in Versamark and embossed it with black embossing powder. I have had a nasty headache for a couple of days, so this was really hard for me to concentrate on, if you know what I mean. I think the rest is pretty easy to figure out, but if you do have questions about anything, don't hesitate to ask. I am gonna go find someone to send this too in the Need a Lift forum!! Have a great day and thanks for looking!!

  1. Can you help me? I'm been admiring the long cards people are doing, but I'm just not sure what the dimentions of those cards are and where do you get envelopes that fit it?

  2. I think that this card is beautiful. The colors are great together and the dimension and the way you laid it out is quite lovely! Maybe try some satin ribbon instead. It's a fabulous "just because" card!!!

  12. Great card! Especially for the first one with a new set. It always takes me a "practice" card before I get one I like when it comes to new stamps!
