You Mean the World to Me

Here's my card for the final Viva la Verve sketch for August.  I put together a love themed design based on the sketch.

I covered a light gray cardfront with a piece of chevron patterned paper, then adhered a piece of a gray grid patterned circle to the left edge of the panel.  I die cut two blue fishtail flag strips to layer over the half circle.  The "you mean the world to me" sentiment from Verve's Take Note set was stamped on the bottom fishtail flag strip in gold ink, then heat embossed in gold for a nice pop. 

To go with the love theme, I die cut a heart from gold paper.  It's adhered to the top fishtail flag strip using foam tape.  A trio of gold sequins completed the design and added a final bit of sparkle.
