I was all excited for the Viva la Verve first sketch of September, I logged on the the website, saw the sketch and felt my heart sink. Firstly it was a DL card, I always find these cards difficult for some reason. It also had three shaped elements on it and I don't have any shaped dies that were small enough to have three on the front of the card.
I wanted to combine my idea with a great colour combo, and this week The Paper Players have just that, I do love Razzleberry and Olive together, and I'm really warming to grey.
So I grabbed my Fun Flowers die and set to work. My next problem was deciding which stamp set to use for the centres, I decided upon Garden Whimsy, I wish that I'd used this set a lot more, it really is a great little set with great insect and flower images and two sentiments too.
I'm so pleased that I gave this one a go, I think this maybe the fist DL card I've made that I really quite like.
Thanks for stopping by, xx

This is such a pretty birthday card, I can't wait until I get the chance to get back into the groove-I'm getting withdrawal from card making!! Ha ha! :)
