Countdown to Verve's Holiday Release!

I love the countdowns to Verve's releases, Julee always has great challenges for everyone to play! This release is no exception. This month Verve is releasing 6 new sets and 3 Plain Janes. Each month Julee outdoes herself, and this release is no exception -just stunning!!

Starting today and running through Saturday the 8th, Julee will be posting a sketch challenge in the Verve forum of SCS. If you play along today, you can qualify to win the new set Poinsettia Christmas. If you play along each of the 5 days, you will be qualified for a random drawing to WIN ALL THE RELEASES! A value of $99. Two (2) lucky participants will be chosen! WooHoo :-)

This card combines today's color challenge on SCS of Ridinghood Red, Pretty in Pink, and Kiwi Kiss and today's sketch (keyword: VSHR1). I am running dangerously low on Thank You cards, so I decided to make a butterfly TY card. I love how this turned out, kinda clean, easy to make. I used Verve's Fluttering By. I stamped the butterfly out 2 times and cut one out and painted Shimmerz on the body and wings. The ribbon is layered with satin and the Ridinghood Red taffeta. Instead of a bow the sketch called for, I used my Martha branch punch and tucked the ends under the square panel. The sentiment is from Verve's Artful Elegance. The DP is SU! Bella Rose.
