Anyhow, since it's Friday, it's also time for a new Viva la Verve! sketch and that was the inspiration for my card today. Everything except the so saffron smile panel and the card base came from my scrap pile. The flower from Happy Place had been previously stamped, colored, cut and glittered, but didn't make it onto a card. I layered it onto a piece of so saffron cardstock that I stamped tone on tone with the smile sentiment from Happy Place. A little scrap of paper makes a fun photo corner and this layer is matted with black.
Next I pulled out a few scraps of paper and a doily from my scrap pile and layered them together, inking the edges lightly with black soot. The soft sky piece is embossed with a Tides embossing folder, then I added some ribbon, thread and a button to finish things off. Finished card size is 3.75" x 5.5"
