for our sketch challenge! Can't wait to see what y'all 
come up with for this week!

on what I wanted to do and it finally came to me! I printed
my scripture from Eureka Stamps on velum paper and
laid it over my freebie tree digi I randomly found 
and voila! I think it looks pretty cool! This is the first time I've
ever done this look before, but it won't be the last!

VLV April week 2

After much thought and deliberation I came 
up with how I wanted to interpret the sketch for 
Viva la Verve's April week 2 sketch... I had decided that
I wanted to incorporate butterflies and flowers so
I could also enter this card in the Verve April Diva Hop.
This month's hop features the styles of Charmaine and Marisa
with the theme being "Bright Blooms and Butterflies."

My creation:


Supplies used:

MME and Paper Studio dp
