Viva La Verve...A Vintage Valentine

Hi and welcome to a new month of Viva La Verve challenges! Amber has come up with a fabulous sketch for us to work with, and when I say a sketch is fabulous, it usually means that I was able to come up with an idea in less than a day! My mind's eye went right to some lovely, vintage papers, with sponged/curled edges and lots of hearts. Here's what I mean:

I hand stitched a double "X" pattern to anchor the sentiment banner:

Some yummy Zva Creative flowers:

And, of course, some sweet Zva Creative pearl flourishes:

Here's Amber's sketch:

A few details about our Viva La Verve sketches:

Every Friday, a Diva will post a sketch for your enjoyment. Your cards, using the sketches, must be uploaded to Splitcoast Stamper's Viva La Verve forum by the last Thursday of the month (check for the due date below!) The winner will be announced on the next day and will win a $100 gift certificate to VERVE! How awesome is that?! Just a reminder, Verve stamps are NOT required but we love to see you use them. Feel free to flip, rotate, resize, or otherwise alter the sketch as long as we can tell you USED the sketch!
Have a wonderful weekend!
