Simply Chartreuse & Raspberry Fizz are the focal colors using the new Verve flower from the Hope Blooms set and the leaves with matching die from the Bloom & Grow set - 2 must have sets with so many options for design! I cut slits around each flower layer and roughed up the petals so they would be more dimensional...so fun! Shannon has a challenging sketch for the Viva la Verve challenge on the SCS forum. Fortunately, she has a visual tutorial which is very helpful to know how to achieve the starburst effect. It turned out to be an easier task than I expected! This card is also being entered into the CCEE Stampers challenge to use pleated ribbon or pleated paper. I've had this wide pleated ribbon and never used it, so this was a perfect opportunity!

I saw this sketch and groaned LOL! Stayed up till 1:00 AM to get it done and cheated a bit on the star burst portion ;) Love the new banner and wishing you and your family a blessed Easter weekend.
ReplyDeleteWOW, this is gorgeous!!! That starburst does look hard~I'm definitely going to have to check out the tutorial! Love the bright, fun colors, and those flowers are fabulous!
ReplyDeleteIs IT a new dang banner??!! I can't even keep up anymore!! Perfect use of those papers {have them myself and haven't used much} and I enjoyed this layout {although Shannon's tutorial made it really easy}. Love those flowers. Hope you're having a great weekend!!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful, great colors too! Thanks for sharing!
