Took a stab at making a card for Verve's special sketch challenge for their March release. I tend to leave things to the last minute so there I was stamping and punching away last night when I should have been sleeping....especially since we lost an hour of precious sleep time!
Made a "Baptismal Birthday" card for a young lady in our church...and since I don't yet own any Verve stamps (plan to remedy that) I used the Our Daily Bread set "Light of the World" which is one of my faves.
Used Parisian Breeze dsp - love it and will have to get another pkg so I don't hoard this one! Popped up the sentiment to make it stand out. A few punches (of course!) and a couple of brads and some mini dollar store half pearls to finish it...

That paper is gorgeous, and the way you used it on your card is fabulous. I love that border punch...haven't seen that before. It's a nice elegant shape. You did awesome on the sketch.

Hi, I got to your wonderful gallery finally. I LOVE this card and you are right, that dsp is to die for. I'm going to order it at my next stamp club class. That border punch is great. I'm really into border punches and haven't seen that one out there. Oh no, another thing to yearn for! I like the psalm and the pretty flowers. Keep em' comin' and I'll be on the lookout for your beautiful cards! TFS!
