Viva La Verve with a {twist} of DP INSPIRATION [VLVJun04]

For My Husband
There was no doubt I was going to use my new Verve stamps to make this very special first Father's Day card for my wonderful husband and best friend! I just love the shape of these clouds and popped one off the page with dimension squares. I decided to hide a sun behind it, but if you look around or behind the clouds you can see the entire sun which is what happens in reality! I hadn't used that sun punch in a long time. I just love that fence so much I had to use it again. Instead of creating grass the way I did here, I decided to use the tearing edge which I also hadn't used in a while. I created depth for the different sized trees by using two different greens and tucking the small tree between the layers. To finish, I rounded the edges of the sentiments with another pair of scissors and added dimension squares to World's Best and FATHER. Funny how I didn't use Copics at all for this card. The different coloured papers were pretty enough on their own and I guess I needed a break from colouring! This card was a nice way to use both old and new supplies. It was raining all day today so I had to hold up a lamp and use the flash to get enough light but this made the card photograph very flat and yellow. Tomorrow when the sun is out, I'll try to take some better pictures.

Viva La Verve with a NEW {twist} [VLVJun02]
I didn't photograph this card on a white background only because the background is also white. The fuzz on the bottom edge of the card is blue suede from the chair the card is sitting on!

Viva La Verve with a {twist} of THREE [VLVJun01]
My three colours of cardstock are black, kraft and pale green but there are more colours paperwise. I bought a new package of designer papers yesterday and just realized they are the same colour theme as the card I made yesterday for my Dad. LOL I guess I just love blue, green and orange together. Closeup the papers have a vintage look to them with spots that look worn out. I love that! I actually have four embellishments which are the origami shirt and tie, brad, wrench and hemp cord. I found tool embellishments at the dollar store in the scrapbooking section. There were three different tools in each package for $1. How great is that? The three stamp sets are Verve's Because Of You, HOTP Plain & Simple ABCs and HOTP Tiny Words & Images. I still don't have any oval punches or nesties hence the circle for the sentiment.
Here's the VLVJUN01 sketch:
And here's my card (click on images to enlarge):
I just ordered the May Stamp Collection and can't wait to receive it. I'm actually going to hold off on making my husband's first Father's Day card until the set arrives!! I hope it arrives next week so I can use it on the remaining VLV challenges this month. I've also created a mock light box so I hope my cards are photographing a little better!
