Hi everyone! It's Day One of Verve sneak peeks! Today we are peeking the Plain Janes. This month, Julee is releasing four new Plain Janes -woohoo. In case you are not familiar with Plain Janes, they are single stamps and often coordinate with released sets!This card uses Mother's Day Plain Jane. I LOVE that the sentiment is large enough to be the focal point of the card. AND, check out the flower on "O" in Mother -recognize it from the from Grateful Elegance set? Yep, that gorgeous 6-petal flower has made a come back this release! I loved that flower and am thrilled to see it in a BIG way (hint hint)!! I made this card with some cheerful bold bright paper and flowers! This one is earmarked for Bill's mom. He claimed it right away. It is SOOOO her style! Over on the Verve Blog, you can check out all the Plain Jane peeks -even another card from me!
This next card is a triple challenge card! It is for this week's Clean and Simple challenge -to use monotone colors, I chose pinks. It also is for this week's Flourishes Timeless Tuesday challenge -to have piercing on your card. Finally, it follows this weeks CPS card sketch, CPS111. I am new to these sketches, but hey, you can never have enough sketches to follow, especially if you are like me and can't design one to save my life!The stamp is from Flourishes, Summer Blossoms set. I LOVE the elegant stems and blooms in this set!! The DP is the retired Pink DSP and the butterflies are punched from a small Marvy punch.
Thanks for stopping by! Stay tuned tomorrow for Day Two of Verve's sneak peeks and my sketch challenge card!!
P.S. for all of you Twilight/Edward fans, I have added a Robward picture of the week below my slide show. Hey, you can't have too much Rob/Edward right? LOL!

Wow, I love Julee's new plain jane sentiment--just perfect for this fabulous floral dp you chose and such great colors! The pretty in pink card is so delicate and classy. It's always so inspiring visiting you, my friend!! ....but, I do have one small complaint--it's VERY difficult to read your posts and look at your fabulous creations while by boyfriend, Edward is streaming by on the sidebar, LOL!!! I keep looking over there and getting all hot and bothered, bwahahaha! :) Dare I say that you may be even more infacuated with him than myself?!?! If there was anyone worthy of our obsession, it is him, that's for certain! hugs and smiles for a grea day, friend!
