Happy Monday, everyone! I don't know about you, but Daylight Savings always messes with my internal clock! LOL! I was up later than I should have been last night, then woke earlier than I should have...gotta love it! I spent the day with my friend, Pam Varnell, doing a little stamping...so I got a little bit ahead as far as my stamping schedule goes (and that's always a good thing!). With last week's sneak peeks from TGF I didn't get a chance to showcase some of the Verve cards that I had created a while back, so I thought today would be a great time to do so.I had this multi-teared ornament in mind as soon as I received the new sets, but Betty Wright beat me to the punch! LOL! I stamped two of the ornaments from the "Holly Jolly" set, and added one of the smaller stars from the "Star of Wonder" set. They were stamped in Black Craft Ink on Watercolor Paper, embossed with Clear Embossing Powder, then colored in Rich Razzleberry with an Aquapainter. I carefully cut the ornament out, and added some Pink Stickles to the darker edges for a bit of sparkle. I stamped the pine bough and sentiment from the "Ornamental Christmas" set, and used some of my Cottage Wall Designer Series Papers to add some more color. A piece of Rich Razzleberry Dotted Ribbon was added along with a Celery Button and some Linen Thread.
That's it for me today! Thanks for stopping by to see me! I have some bills to pay, laundry to wash/dry/fold/put away, dogs to bathe, clothes to sort, and a JV football game to get ready for...so I'd better get a shower and get moving if I am going to get everything finished by 5:00! LOL! I'll see you all back here tomorrow with another Tuesday Sketch...you will NOT want to miss this one! Until then...
