My Viva La Verve inspiration was for week 2 came from room 1. I focused on the satiny silver fabric in the chairs, the cream and mustard/sand color in the decor and wall, and the glass lampstands.
The stamps I used are from Waltzingmouse Stamps' Nestie Friendly Very Vintage Labels 3 set and Blessed by You. I used a Verve complimentary stamp for the sentiment. I made the Nestabilities Label 3 mat look like it was a metal piece by using some Zing Silver embossing powder on the stamps and silver metallic acrylic paint dry brushed over the whole thing. I confess, I first did the Labels 3 stamp and then brushed acrylic over it, which dulled the finished of the embossing. The apple looks much more metallic because I embossed after the acrylic paint had dried.
I started to make a deep orange flower to match a stripe in one of the pillows, but my clever mind wouldn't let me. I made an apple blossom sprig out of punches, so it would match the apple in the label.
The watercolor gradient is actually prismacolor markers, colors that I used for the buds in the sprig. I needed to have a balance of colors somewhere and that was where the marker went down.
Thanks for stopping by.

Hi Janelle - this is so elegant, and I love the embossed Diamonds and Dots piece - it really does remind me of a piece of fabric. The colours are beautiful too.
