Verve Project Parade-Divine Details




This is for the Verve Project Parade and for Karen's Sweet Sunday sketch challenge from last week.. You can learn about the Verve Project Parade here. You can learn more about the sketch challenge here. I used sewing, sponging, and made a tag. I am a sketch girl and almost always start with a sketch and then I am drawn to color, dp, or ribbon that I want to use. Sometimes I use embellishments as a starting point, but if I do it is because I want to use a particular color. I also like depth and try to use images that can be cut out and/or popped up. I used the wide striped ribbon from last Winter's SU cattie for this card. I also used colors from our wedding, I wanted to load this to the LSC from yesterday but I was missing some of the requirments so I cannot load it. Part of the challenge yesterday was to use high school colors or wedding colors. I used our wedding colors, I wore a ivory dress and carried red roses and dh wore a black suit with a ivory shirt and red tie. I added one of my favorite photos from our wedding for you to see, my dh has since cut his hair if you are wondering. Enjoy!

  22. Oh, Teresa - what a fabulous wedding photo! I love pictures that feel more candid, rather than the traditional eyes on the camera pose.

    And I adore your card, too! You always have the best details - I love the depth and dimension to your cards, the stitching and beautiful accents. Thanks for playing along in our parade! :)
