Viva la Verve - May Week 2

Hi folks (if you are here for my Pixie Cottage post, please scroll down to the previous post or click through here)

so for those of you who saw my WOYWW post yesterday, you got a sneak peek at today's cards as they were sitting, almost finished, in my crafty space (I finished the inside last night).

I used the Week 2 Sketch from the Viva La Verve Challenges

and did something a little more "femme" than the other cards I made for the May sketches.

Yes! I pulled out my sewing machine and stitched on my cards!!! And I did leave out one element of the sketch as I thought adding anything else to these cards would be a bit overdone.

card details:

• finished size: 4.25 x 5.5 inches
• stamps: Verve Amazing Wishes, stamped in Memento Rich Cocoa
• patterned papers: My Mind's Eye Pretty Please
• Spellbinders: Petite Circles, Labels Seventeen
• extras: paper doily, CTMH velvet ribbon, buttons, embroidery floss

Additional challenges for these cards:

• Practical Scrappers Challenge Me Tuesday: Doilies
• Really Reasonable Ribbon: Pink and Brown (pink papers in two shades, dark pink ribbon and buttons, brown ink, kraft card base)
• The Sisterhood of Crafters: Button Box

Thanks for stopping by! Hope you have a great day.
