This is my last VLVMay2012 sketch - this time week 5 and combined with the Penny Black monochrome challenge.  This card was mailed out today to a very dear friend who I hope to meet up with next week.

I stamped the image twice with Memento Rich Cocoa before cutting it out with this lovely Spellbinders die.  I sponged the card whilst it was in the die with Antique Linen distress ink.  I then coloured the flowers with various shades of brown Copics.  Adhesive cream pearls were added to a few stamens and the image was mounted with foam pads onto the background panel.

VLV May Week 3

I am playing catch up this month on the VLV sketches.  This is an anniversary card, yes another one, that I made for the week 3 sketch.  The stamps are from Verve and the inks are Memento Lulu Lavender and Adirondack Purple Twilight.  Papers are all from my scrap trays.

Thank you so much for looking. 

VLVMay2012 - Wedding

This card made using Sketch 1 of VLVMay2012 is for a colleague at work to give.  She requested the card a while back for a relative getting married in early June - thankfully she is pleased with it.  Papers are white, silver and designer paper from Stampin up.  The image was coloured with Copics.

Chelsea Girl

This card is made using the cute Penny Black image, a MFP sentiment and some papers from SU which were in my scrap tray.  The recycled element is the ribbon and I only had enough to knot rather than make a bow.
I have used the Jugs colours for this week and the sketch from VLVMay2012 Week 4.

I laughed when I saw the Jugs colours late Saturday night after a long day in the office because my husband's football team Chelsea had just won the European cup and their kit although mainly blue does feature some yellow and some white.

A young friend of ours was Baptised at the weekend along with her brother and this card is for her Birthday which is also this week - all the children and their Dad support Chelsea too!

I am entering this card for

BBB Birthday Wishes

The challenge at Sentimental Sundays is a Birthday card and B embellishments - bling, border and bow are what I have managed using the VLV May week 2 sketch - still to do week 1 and 3!

The image is from Darkroom Door, coloured with Copics and the sentiment is from Verve.  Spellbinders dies were used.  Papers are from Papermania and Basic Grey.

Hope you like it.
