Viva La Verve...Smile

Welcome to this week's Viva La Verve sketch! Laurie has come up with a beautiful design for us to use this week, only one more to go after this one and there will be a sweet prize up for grabs! Before I get too ahead of myself, here's my card based on Laurie's sketch, pictured below:



The sketch for this week:


I had one of those flowers that I had made a few days ago left over, so I thought I would put it to good use on my card. I hand stitched around the Jotted Heart die for a little homespun look. Another monochromatic card, I just wasn't feeling the colors today....maybe tomorrow? We'll see.

Here are rules regarding the 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 great weekend!
