Viva la Verve {Hello Friend}


I am playing catch up with the sketches over at Viva la Verve! I always really like their sketches as they have lots of room for layers but are "clean" style too! They inspire me! Today I went about using one of their sketches and I had BIG hopes for this card...in my mind it was much more elegant! LOL! Isn't that always the way? I hope you like it...it was fun to make even if it did not turn out as expected.


I inked up a new set from Verve called Hope Blooms! I LOVE floral images especially ones that look like gerber daisies and it comes with lots of sweet sentiments! I inked up the flowers with some Memento Tuxedo Ink and my Copic markers. I left the background black and white as inspired by the inspiration photo that went with the sketch. I did not add gold, but focused on the flowers mixed with black and white.
