Wishing You Sunny Days

Happy Friday!  Another week is almost through and it's time to celebrate with a Viva la Verve sketch!  This week's sketch is hosted by sweet Charmaine.  I used the new Sunny Days set for my sample along with the xoxo stamp from Tag Time.


The pennant shape was a chipboard shape I covered with dp, inked the edges, stamped on and added a tiny scallop border along the top.  The flower centers from Sunny Days are stamped onto Authentique Uncommon Paper cut out with the Floral Circles dies and then layered together.  The buttons are stamped in black, then punched with a 1/2" circle punch and accented with some liquid pearls.  And there are those leafy sprigs again.  I just can't stop adding them in black.

Short and sweet again.  I'm hoping to get some much needed rest this weekend, as it feels I've been running the past few weeks on empty.  Time to refuel!  :)  Have a great weekend!

Those leafy sprigs look great in black - if it ain't broke, don't fix it!

I'm not at all a pink person, but those flowers look awesome in pink! I think the black balances out the 'girliness' and that's why I like it!

Really nice :)
