Another Verve sneak peek day

Today is the last day of the Verve sneak peeks for the holiday release happening this Sunday the 9th at 5pm Pacific. Today you get a peek at Poinsettia Christmas and Ornamental Christmas. Here is a link to the SCS Release Party thread. Hop on over to the Verve blog to see the samples from the Verve Divas! One of them is mine :-)

Today is also the 4th day of the 5 day sketch blitz challenges. This card follows that sketch AND uses one of the sneak peek sets called Ornamental Christmas. Such an elegant and VERSITILE set. There are many choices of ornament sayings, I chose Holiday Cheer for the ornament and Merry Christmas for the sentiment.

The ornament, sentiments, ornament cap and string are embossed. For the stars, I glued gold foil to a part of an old oatmeal box and ran them thru the CB with the snowflake die cut. The amazing gold striped organdy ribbon is from Pinkhedgehog Papercrafts and the red bling is from my Kaiser Scrapbook red rhinestone pack (I got mine at my LSS, but if you want to see what they look like, here is a link). The DP is the retired SU! Dashing DP.

Remember, if you play along with the Sketch challenges you have several chances to win new release stamp sets. One winner each day, and 2 lucky winners will win ALL the releases if you play each of the 5 days! Good luck!
