For the Viva la Verve! September week 1 sketch challenge on Splitcoaststampers:

I'm afraid I deviated quite a bit from the sketch this month. I just could not make the symmetrical circles work for me. I kept seeing two big alien eyeballs staring back. LOL!
Anyway, I mixed some older and brand new Verve for this challenge. The sentiment is from Words of Wisdom (older) cut out with the Mini Bookplate Die (new), and the edges embossed with Platinum powder from SU. The flowers are from the Hope Blooms set, cut out with the Floral Circles Dies (both older), the petals fringed along the lines, and layered. The bottom layer center panel is cut with the Ribbon Banner Die (older) and stamped with the Thatched Banner Plain Jane (new).
Papers are MME and Basic Grey, and I used a bit of dotted American Crafts ribbon, an antique silver button, and a bit of grey twine from Lawn Fawn.
No products have been added to this project.
Thanks for spreading positivity!
