VSHR4 Frosty and VSHR5, IC153 Simply Delights

Happy Saturday you all!!!

Tomorrow is the *Release Party* from *Verve Visual* and I'm thrilled to say that I have completed all 5 Release Sketches to qualify for some awesome prizes - wahhhooo!!!

This card is actually a combo - the Sketch is the
Verve Holiday Release Sketch #4 and the inspiration came from the OCC ladies.

I know you probably think how did I end up with a snowman when the inspiration piece is a cupcake...LOL?!? Well let me tell ya - I wanted to make a cupcake card very badly, but unfortunately I'd be craving those all day long...and since I'm not very mobile with my sprained foot right now....I figured I'm better off making a *Holiday* card. Well, holidays and cupcakes go together - right???

I used good old *Frosty* - love that snoman!!!
The colors I used are - Riding Hood Red, Baja Breeze and Whisper White.
I used a Blender Pen to color it and added some Dazzling Diamonds at the end. To finish it off I added the Taffeta Ribbon.

I made this card for today's IC153. My inspiration came from the colors. I chose these two colors - the Scoop Neck and the Cashmere Jumper. Most of the ladies cloth is very elegant and sophisticated so I thought I'll head that direction...

The card measures 5 1/2" x 5 1/2". The Sketch is from the Verve Holiday Release #5.

I used is the retired *Simply Delights* Simple Sent Kit. The image was inked in Versamark and then embossed with the retired Brown EP. I added some Halfback Pearl from the *Prettiest Kit* in the center.

The DP is the new *Haiku* - I love the colors together!!! The sentiment was placed into a Copper Label Holder and adjusted with a Brown Satin Ribbon.

Hope you will find something fun in the Inspiration Challenge and play along??? ~TFL~

Love all the cards you made for the Verve sketches!! The Frosty card is fabulous (I should have gotten that set when I could have!). Love the two you did yesterday as well. Just love the baja and red together and all that wonderful white space I so enjoy using too :) Hope the ankle gets better sooner than later!

Frosty is lovely. The ribbon and split colors in the background are stunning.

The second card is first rate. Love the subtle mix of patterns and the big pearls are the perfect touch. Hugs, Mary
