The Best Grandparents

Another late night post from me.

I thought I would play along with a few challenges that are ending soon - Verve's February Diva Dare, Viva La Verve, and Glitz's February challenge (pink and gold).

The sketch is from the first Viva La Verve sketch of the month.  I really loved the modern feel of the sketch and the play of squares/rectangles and circles.



I used papers from Glitz's Uncharted Waters collection and a Plain Jane sentiment that I had sadly not yet inked up.  The Diva Dare this month is to make a 'perk up' card.  I don't have any Verve coffee stamps, but plenty of encouraging/pick me up sentiments.  I think this is such a great sentiment, and will surely make an appearance on some Grandparent's Day cards.

With a gold challenge, you have to pull out the Gold Delicata, no?  The stripes were created using the thinnest strip from Neat & Tangled's On the Strip 2 set.

I played around with some different mats for the sentiment piece, but ultimately decided on some vellum because I wanted something really subtle.

Finally, I finished it off with some gold sequins, because sequins make everything better right?

Thanks for stopping by and have a great evening!
