Rosettes and Gingham and Scrolls Oh My

Hi friends!  It's another fine Tuesday October day and I'm back with my take on this week's Viva la Verve October Week 4 sketch.  This one was designed by Tosh and well, I flipped it and strayed a bit from the sketch, but the inspiration is still there!


There was a bit of a chaotic heap of stuff on my desk when I sat down to make this card and I decided to just go with it.   I wanted a shabby chic feel, and I remembered a card I made a while back that had a half rosette, so I started with that, just using a scor-pal to score the paper every 1/4 inch and accordion folded.  The tan panel is dp that I cut with Martha Stewart scissors all around the edges, then drew in the dividing panels with a black pen.  (Although I forgot about this little detail and ended up covering up the dividing lines with ribbon, so the two boxes in the sketch are in hiding.)   Then it was just a matter of layering some lace, a border punch and adding some ribbon and roses.  Those fabulous little skeleton banyan leaves from Pizzazz Aplenty are a fun little accent and I used the Scroll PJ and coordinating Scroll die along with a sentiment from Friendly Phrases to finish off the card.

Okay, that's all from me today!  Hope you have a fantastic Tuesday!  Thanks so much for stopping by!
