For my sample card, I used the flowers in Great Friend both as a focal point and to create a stamped background. This set has three sizes of bold and solid flower images, perfect for layering, which I did with the bold images for my focal point. Each is trimmed out, layered on dimensionals and I added a few leafy sprigs (also from this set) behind it. For the background, I stamped several of the small and medium outline flowers in basic gray ink, then filled in the smaller flowers with the solid flower inked in Peach Parfait. This card was my inspiration for Anni-VERVE-sary Sketch AVS2010E. {You still have until Friday at 6PM Eastern to get your sketch cards in for a chance to win some new Verve!
