VLV Snow Drifts

The VLV Week 4 sketch which Laurie presented had plain diagonal lines but when I picked the paper I decided to use poetic licence and make mine wavy - snow drifts came to mind!  Well I am not sure snow drifts is quite how it turned out but I am OK with it never the less.  Hope your week is going well and thanks for looking.

The Basic Grey paper was what dictated this card using the VLV September Week 3 sketch.  There is so little stamping on this card it is scary but it still took me ages to get it all together and complete - hope you like it.

Young Woman

A friend from my college days youngest daughter is just about to turn 21.  I haven't seen her for many years and it seems amazing that she is really now a young woman - also makes me feel old!

 
I used the VLV September Week 2 sketch and stamps from Stampin Up and Verve.  The papers are from Kate Knight and Kanban.  I used Versamark to stamp the oriental lady and then applied Zing Pewter embossing powder.  The Verve flowers are stamped with a Nick Bantock ink called Damson Plum - the only colour I had that was a close match to the paper.  I replaced the two little tags with the ribbon bow tails. 

I hope she has a wonderful birthday.

Peaceful Wishes

It is really late so this a quick post.  This card is made using the first weeks sketch from VLV and the Color Throwdown colours.  The snowflake from Verve is embossed with 3 different embossing powders and the background paper is from SEI.  Off to bed now - sleep well everyone.
