Viva la New Year!

Hi friends!  Happy Friday! I've just put the finishing touches on our new Viva la Verve! challene blog and our first challenge of 2014 is up!  Hooray!  We're spicing things up a bit with the first sketch of each month also having a color challenge.  You can just use the sketch, just the colors or combine them if you're feeling sassy!  {grin}

I'm hostessing this week, so here's my take on the sketch + colors.  {I guess I was feeling sassy!}


For my card I pulled out the No Matter What set and some real red, early espresso and soft sky cardstock.  The heart clusters are embossed in white onto red and espresso.  I stamped the heart bouquet on a circle die cut, then colored with Copics.  The sentiment is stamped in real red and I added some rounded corners to my square and sentiment tab.  The hearts embossing folder got pulled out again and I finished off with some red rhinestones, satin ribbon and some liquid pearl accents on my scalloped circle.



Okay, that's all for me.  The boys and I have been sick the last few days and I'm hoping to get a little rest today while the littles visit their grandparents.  Be sure to head on over to the Viva la Verve blog to see some more samples with this sketch from a few of the Divas!
