Viva La Verve October Week 2

Week number 2 at the Verve Friday Sketch challenge over at Splitcoast. Since I'm on a roll tonight and this is my 3rd card that I've made with relative ease (I'm going with it), I decided to use this fabulous sketch by Amber with a color scheme of brown, orange and turquoise. Here is my card:

And Amber's super sketch:

I am so enjoying my new Verve stamps, have you gone over to the Verve blog and checked out all the samples of the new stamps? You'll be floored! I know that I love to visit there and get some great inspiration! Speaking of inspiration, I love all the shapes that Amber included in this sketch. I used a Labels 3 as my base, on top of that is a Lacey Circles Nestie and then 2 more circle Nesties. The sentiment is stamped in Walnut Stain distress ink and I also used this ink to lightly sponge the outside of the sentiment panel. I didn't exactly stick to the sketch, I moved my sentiment to the middle, it looks better there to me. The decorative frame under the focal piece is a 5" square cut with my Martha Stewart Layered Arches border and corner punch.
Well, that's all for tonight, have to work in the morning!
