Viva La Verve New Sketch is Up


I'm hosting the sketch challenge with Viva La Verve and posting a little early to fit in all the fun projects I'll be showing throughout the day. So head on over to Splitcoaststampers' for the Verve sketch challenge forum


The background is an attempt to create a Gelli Plate style background paper. Kyra over at the Mix-Ability Challenge is asking us to start with BRIGHT colors and create a craftastrophe type scene. But then we get to fix it with toning down the color with white or black. Well, I almost did it right. I saw some Warm Grey acrylic paint in my stash that was begging to be added as my neutral... so I did. That also might note work out so well with my color scheme for the Play Date Cafe Challenge. See the challenge colors and mixed media challenge details and links below.

      It's called Lobster. I picked it out of the list in the Template > Customize > Advanced > Post Title section of Blogger. :)

    Janelle, this is gorgeous! I love all the bright colors, and that pretty pale aqua ribbon. And, what a fab way to use a vertical stamp on a horizontal panel, covering one end with the bg paper. Love it!

Let's Celebrate Plain Jane Style!

There is an Anni-Verve-Sary party going on today! Verve Stamp Company is 2 years old! The hop started at Verve's blog , so come hop on board and see over 5 dozen projects that are sure to get your Verve on! I've been waiting for the right time to blog about this project and when the opportunity came to join in the anniversary blog hop for Verve I knew it was time. My blog hop project today uses all Plain Jane Bible verses from Verve. I saw this project at Susan Roberts gallery on Splitcoaststampers and went to her blog to get the details . I decided to make one for my mother as a Christmas present...in 2008. Yep, I just now finished it and I have the blog hop to thank. Using sketches would have made this a whole lot faster. LOL The two cards shown in the picture above use the latest Plain Jane release for Psalm 121:1-2 (hanging on box) and Hebrews 11:1 (in front of box). And I'll give the details below, but first here's a slide show of the whole year. Hebr...
