The new year's barely underway and I already have my card done for January's first Viva la Verve sketch challenge! With all the chilly--and snowy/slushy--weather we've had over the past two weeks, I decided to think warm and made the large circle at the center of the sketch into a sun. Once I had that figured out, this design came together pretty quickly.
I made the sun by layering a slightly smaller circle over a pinking edged circle. I stamped
Verve's Sunshine Plain Jane at the center of the circle in darker orange ink. It's adhered to the patterned paper panel along with a fluffy white felt cloud on either side. The panel is machine stitched to a turquoise mat, then layered on an orange panel. I set the layered pieces on a white card base for a nice contrast.
Materials Used:
Sunshine Plain Jane stamp (Verve Stamps); Vivid Butterscotch ink (Clearsnap); Pumpkin Pie cardstock (Stampin' Up!); Hawaiian Shores cardstock (Papertrey Ink); Fine & Dandy-Tickled Pink 6x6 paper pad (My Mind's Eye); circle and pinking circle dies (Spellbinders); cloud die (Papertrey Ink); white felt; sewing machine; foam tape
Nice card, happy new year!
