Hey friends! Popping in with a card to share. For this card I used the first sketch for the May Viva la Verve sketch challenge and the inspiration photo/color combo for the May Verve diva inspiration challenge. Since it has a flower on it I will also be posting it to the current Simon Says Stamp challenge to use flowers. I used some fun polka dot patterned paper from Echo Park in two of the colors in the combo and then threw in some stripes from a My Favorite Things paper pad to break up all the polka dots. The stamp set I used is the Verve set Simply Amazing. The flowers were stamped in orange ink on the patterned paper and then die cut with the corresponding dies. The little flower center was die cut from yellow polka dot paper and then all three were layered together. All the squares and rectangles were die cut using various dies (A Jillian Vance Design and Spellbinders). Since there is some metal in the inspiration photo I die cut the word amazing cut from brushed gold cardstock using the amazing die from the Verve Amazing Adjective word dies. I cut the word several more times from plain cardstock and then adhered them together. Stamped the sentiment on the square and then layered everything up. One of those cards that I wasn't wild about when I finished it, but it is growing on me. Having surgery on my right shoulder this Friday (yep... Friday the 13th!) and so there won't be much card making for me until probably this time next week! 
Supplies: Cardstock: white; light teal, brushed gold (MFT); patterned paper: Echo Park and My Favorite Things; Stamps: Verve; Dies: Verve, A Jillian Vance Design and Spellbinders; Inks: Memento Tangelo; VersaFine Onyx Black
