Here's my inspiration project using the April stamp of the month, Kindred Spirits. This set of elegant images and sentiments based around the timeless fleur de lis is 40% off during the month of April!
As far as stamping, I created a horizontal background with the long fleur de lis stamp, added the sentiment to a square and then embossed and cut out the fleur de lis cluster as a little "greenery" for my felt flower. The rest of the accents are die cuts using the new Fleur de Lis Spellbinders and I finished off with some Platinum liquid pearls accents as well as some fun silver skeleton leaves from Pizzazz Aplenty.
The sketch for this card is this week's April Viva la Verve Week 1 sketch by Amber Hight! It's the first week of the month, so it's a fresh new start! Play along with all the sketches during the month for a chance to win an entire future Verve release! If you're hopping in order, next up on the hop is the talented Betty Wright. Otherwise, here's the hop list! Happy Hopping!
