Little Lily

Wow, am I behind or what? By now, you all know that I made cards from all twelve of the Anni-Verve-sary sketches and that the contest has been over for a week now. I didn't win anything from Verve, but I am still a winner. I have twelve wonderful cards to add to my stash!

This was the sketch and card from Day 6 (August 6th). Keeping with the idea of using stuff that I already had in my stash, I pulled out the green print paper from the Paper Salon/Karen Neuberger/Sorbet collection. I really wanted to use the other side of this cardstock, but it just didn't come together the way I wanted. This sketch has a circle as the main image, so I changed it up a bit to use an oval instead. The stamp is an oldie, but not moldy from PSX. It is the Lily from the Botanicals collection. I wish I still had all of my Botanical stamps (have you seen what some are going for on Ebay?) I embossed the image with gold ep onto white shimmer cs and colored with Copic markers. It is hard to tell in the pic, but the shimmer from the cs comes through the color of the image. So pretty in person!

I used the Spellbinders tag set to make the strips for the eyelet brads (yes, eyelet brads) that my sister gave me some time ago. Thanks sis, I knew the orange would come in handy some day.

The corners are pierce with what seems to be my favorite design. Who am I kidding, it is the only design I know how to make. :) If you have designs or know of someone who does, leave me a comment with a link. I would love to check them out!

I will try to post again tomorrow with #7.

hugs to all,
