Verve Holiday Release Sketch Blitz #1

So have you had a chance to check out the details on the Verve Holiday Release Sketch Blitz Challenge? Julee will be posting a different beautiful sketch each day through Saturday and everyone who participates has a chance to win some new Vervalicious stamp sets!!! (and trust me, you do NOT want to miss out on the new releases - they are AMAZING!!!) And get this...2 lucky winners will win the ENTIRE November Release!!!! WOWZA. You can actually download a pdf file with all of the sketches and get a headstart by joining the Verve Group over on Papercraft Planet!!!

Ok, on to my card...here's one of a few cards I did with Julee's first sketch. I LOVE this sketch!! It's so versatile and makes for such a quick and easy card! Details are below...
I used Kraft CS for the card base and added some cheery American Crafts printed paper, Chocolate Chip ribbon and hemp twine (you'll see over the next few days that I seem to have developed a new addiction to hemp twine....hmmmm....). I used one of my old favorite Verve sets, Fluttering By and stamped the butterfly in Versamark ink on So Saffron CS and embossed with detail white powder. The sentiment, from the same set, is stamped in Chocolate Chip ink. I just love how this turned out and I must say, the hemp twine really adds a fresh touch!! :-)
