How Wonderful Life Is

Here's my card for this week's Viva la Verve sketch challenge.  I kept things neutral here with a pop of color and a touch of sparkle from metallic accents.

How Wonderful Life Is card-designed by Lori Tecler/Inking Aloud-stamps from Verve Stamps
I built my design on a pale gray card base covered with a panel of darker gray paper with a gold triangle pattern.  The long fishtail tag sentiment strip was creatively cut from pale gray cardstock using a combination of tag and fishtail flag dies.  After stamping the long tag with a sentiment from Verve's Wonderful Marvelous set in gray pigment ink, I topped it with a pretty silvery gray bow tied with my Bow Easy.  A gold half circle die cut was adhered to the cardfront, tucking the edge underneath the side of the tag.  I accented the sentiment with a trio of hearts cut with the Heart Quartet die.

Materials Used:
Wonderful Marvelous stamp set, Heart Quartet die (Verve Stamps); Memento Luxe Gray Flannel ink (Tsukineko/IMAGINE Crafts); Grout Gray and Steel Grey cardstock, Die-namics Fishtail Flag Stax and Traditional Tag Stax dies (My Favorite Things); Real Red cardstock (Stampin' Up!); gold paper, silver satin ribbon (Target); Be Bold Be Bright 6x6 paper pad (The Paper Studio); circle die (Spellbinders); Bow Easy; foam tape
