Verve and Flourishes WCMD Challenge Cards

Hi Friends! These two cards are my submissions for the Verve and Flourishes WCMD Challenge that I participated in on Sunday. There's a funny story behind these two cards (scroll down for the second one). This first card was for the Verve WCMD challenge and the challenge was to pick a flag of any country and use the colors of the flag for your card. I chose the Botswana flag which had the colors blue, black, and white.

Here is the story. . .I was 90% done with the card when I realized that I had used the Flourishes stamp for the flower instead of using a Verve stamp. Uggggh! I was so upset because I was almost finished. To fix it, I added the Verve Starlight Starbright sentiment on my card.

Do you see my card below. . .well, time was ticking and the deadline was almost up so I used the same card for the Flourishes WCMD challenge but changed it up a bit. Scroll down to read how I did it. . .

Stamps: Verve Starlight Starbright, Flourishes
Paper: SU Designer paper, Bliss Blue, Black
Ink: Copic markers
Accessories: Dew Drops, Nestabilities, CB Embossing Folder, SU Ticket Corner Punch, JoAnn Brads, Grosgrain Ribbon, Stickles Glitter




For the Flourishes WCMD challenge there was a sketch to follow and luckily it worked out. All I did was pull off the white panel which was already adhered to the base for the Flourishes challenge card and tilted it as required by the sketch. I then scooted the ribbon to the left, removed the Verve sentiment and added the flower to the bow. LOL! I would have created a totally different card but the deadline was up so I needed to get the card uploaded as quickly as possible.

By the way. . .I was one of the winners for the Flourishes WCMD challenge using this card. I didn't think my card was all that great so I was a little surprised by it. I wonder if it was a random pick. Regardless, I was so happy to win a Flourishes prize. . .they have really pretty stamps. As a matter of fact, I may stop by and buy a few stamp sets. I love their flower images. . .very pretty.

Just a little info about my card. . .I had masked the flower and stamped it 3 times. I cut out the flower of one of them and remounted it on to one of the flowers. I then cut out the image and mounted on a panel that was CB embossed. I also added a bit of glitter to the image. That's about it.

Anyway. . .I have a TON of projects I need to finish up by today so I have to run!

Hope y'all have a wonderful day!!
