{Cool} Viva La Verve Wk1

Hi everyone!! I got so much done today, it's awesome!! I went to yoga with my friend Stacy, the Farmer's Market, a movie, prepped the Mother's Day Craft for SundaySchool and I even had time to get some cards done while I was snacking on some fresh strawberries. Yay!!

So it's May (I hope you didn't forget to pay your rent) and that means it's a new month full of Viva La Verve Challenges.

Every Friday my fabulous SFYTT Sister Amber challenges us with a sketch and inspirational photos.

I'm especially excited about this card because I got to use my brand new Verve stamps!!! Double Yay!!!

The Surfboards and the faint background pattern on the Kraft CS are all from the Verve set Relax. The sentiment is from the Happy Days set.

The DP comes from the Tahiti Beach Stack by DCWV which is quickly becoming one of my favorites. It has a ton of fun, hip and cool patterns. Perfect for manly cards!!

I distressed the edges with my scissors and I also aged everything by sponging some Antique Linen and Soft Suede onto the paper. The surfboard and the waves are propped up on pop-up dots.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a blessed Sunday everyone!!
