I'm afraid I deviated quite a bit from the sketch this month. I just could not make the symmetrical circles work for me. I kept seeing two big alien eyeballs staring back. LOL!
Anyway, I mixed some older and brand new Verve for this challenge. The sentiment is from Words of Wisdom (older) cut out with the Mini Bookplate Die (new), and the edges embossed with Platinum powder from SU. The flowers are from the Hope Blooms set, cut out with the Floral Circles Dies (both older), the petals fringed along the lines, and layered. The bottom layer center panel is cut with the Ribbon Banner Die (older) and stamped with the Thatched Banner Plain Jane (new).
Papers are MME and Basic Grey, and I used a bit of dotted American Crafts ribbon, an antique silver button, and a bit of grey twine from Lawn Fawn.

The asymmetry definitely works, this is beautiful I'm super jealous of your brand new Verve! Sorry I didn't win last month, I really would've treated you to a stamp set ;)
I know what you're saying about the bug eyes-I'm sitting with my sketchbook trying to work out how I'm going to tweak this sketch too
This is so lovely, great fussy cutting! Wow!
