Today's card is for Verve's July week 1 sketch with a twist. What a fun layout don't you think?! The twist was to distress!! Usually I only distress for masculine cards, I think it is the perfect element for those types but as I was thinking about what image to use, I knew it would be fun for this one! I love all of the images from Verve's Because of You set and thought this little one would be perfect for the little panel! I ink the stems and grass in Papertrey's Avocado and the little buds in Papertrey's Summer Sunrise. I distressed all the panels except for the base card. Couldn't help but use my Scor Bug on the Avocado panel, I love that little tool!!!
I was visiting Debbie's blog one day and she was talking about the Bow Easy, she had a link to Sharon's blog which led to a great video tutorial by Jerri on how to use it! It dawned on me that I had seen the Bow Easy at my lss so while I was out running errands the other day I stopped in there and sure enough they had it! Now sometimes I can make bows but lately I have been bow challenged but not anymore!! Except now I need to work on cutting my tails, geez!!! It's always something isn't it?
Thanks so much for looking!!
