Click here for my Diva Inspirations Blog Hop post.
Well, February is going strong and that means it's time for a new month of sketches over on the Viva la Verve sketches blog. The Verve Divas post a new sketch every Friday and you have the entire month to link up. At the end of the month we draw a name from all the participants to win a $100 shopping spree to the Verve online store! Sound like fun?
This week's sketch is a clean one that allows for dressing up or dressing down to fit your style and mood. I needed a masculine card, so went with a bare bones approach to the sketch. {grin}
The papers are all from the Cowboy My Mind's Eye pad and I distressed them a bit by sponging old paper and fraye4d burlap ink on all the edges. The sentiment is from the Small Packages set, stamped in early espresso. Then I die cut some starts with the Starry Die in both the stripey paper and some early espresso card stock. I layered them together (the largest star is matted with an SU! star punch) and scattered them around for a little fun
That's all from me this fine Friday morning. I hope you have a fantastic weekend and if you find a little time, be sure to come play along with our sketch!
