VLV cards

For the week 2 VLV challenge, Charmaine gave us this great sketch.  I combined this sketch with this week's CR84FN color challenge.

                                                  

  

I found some dp from K & Co. with a floral pattern that I could use as the garnet color and a print that I could use for the chartreuse. 

I used a Marianne die for the cream colored doily.  I cut the doily twice and then off set them .  You can see this design a little more clearly on the inside of the card.  The border was the edge from the floral print paper that I used for the partial circle on the front.  I thought it would make a nice edging on the inside.  I cut the cream circle with the smallest of the grand circle Nesties.  I love those larger Nesties for 6 x 6 cards!

For the week 5 VLV challenge, Sankari provided this fun sketch.

I wanted to use the K & Co. "Sweet Nectar" dp that I just picked up on sale at Michael's, so I made a really bright and springy card.  I'm also using this card for the Diva Dare from the Verve blog.

I made some more rolled roses using the same Sizzix die that I used on this card.  I added a little bit of bling to this one, too, along with some yellow velvet ric rac trim that I have had for ages in my stash.

Thanks for stopping by!  I'll be back with one more card today as soon as I get it finished.  Oh how I am loving Spring Break week and having time to stamp at my leisure today!  : )
