Friends ‘Til the End

Good morning!!  Today’s card is my take on Diva Jen’s Sketch for You to Try!  It’s the beginning of a new month and that means Jen has a new sketch and a new monthly sponsor, VERVE!!  Woohoo!!  In honour of being asked to join in the fun over on Jen’s Blog, I thought I would use the Verve set she inspired, Making a Statement.  This set is VERY BROWN since it’s August release…it’s still in my go-to basket :)  I also used the coordinating Loopy Blooms dies to cut out my felt flower and leaves and the Rounded Scallop Frame to cut out a chipboard frame.  I used the Rounded Rectangle Die on top of the frame this time, instead of underneath it.  Please check out Jen’s post and learn all about the new sketch as well as to see the links to some more wonderful samples with this sketch.  Have a wonderful weekend…YIKES, I just remembered it’s FALL BACK with the clocks!! Oh, how I’ve missed that hour!! LOL
