Viva La Verve...All Things Grow With Love

Happy Friday! Amber is hosting this week's Viva La Verve sketch, which kicks off a new month! The gallery over at Splitcoast is just brimming with gorgeous work, it looks to me like everyone got their 5 sketches in last month. And why not, the prize is Verve's entire next release! For free!! How can you top that? Well, first off, by making a sketch for this week's challenge! Here is my card using Amber's sketch pictured below:

Here is Amber's lovely sketch:

The background on the center panel was made using a MS Deco Fan corner punch. I cut out a line of punches and then cut each one out individually. I used the corner punch because the designs are bigger than the ones on the border punch. I then adhered them to the back of a Oval Nestability. Next, I layered up until I got to the sentiment panel, with each layer getting a bit of dimension with some pop dots. Since I rarely use images on my card, I went with a double sentiment, the center one from Bloom & Grow and the tag from Swirling Hearts.
Make sure to link up your creation at the Viva La Verve forum at Splitcoast using the keyword VLVJun2011 so that we can come by and leave a little comment love!

Have a wonderful, crafty weekend!
