Whew! This card took me HOURS to make! For this week's Viva la Verve challenge, we were able to choose our own kitchen inspiration piece. Not good for a stamper who has NO creativity! I surfed the web for about 2 hours until I came up with this Anna Griffin table setting: http://www.annagriffin.com/images/de...lelinens_d.jpg. I knew I had patterned paper that looked almost exactly the same so that wasn't a problem. I thought I'd pick up on the roses in the vase as my focal point, so that wasn't a problem either. It took me ages to tie the ribbon and add the bow. I ended up taking my rose panel off about 5 times and ended up bending the card stock! By this point, I was fed up and just stamped the sentiment on the card stock and added a few tiny self-adhesive pearls. I'm so glad March's challenges are done, but ESPECIALLY this one!
