Because of You
Hi everyone! Today I'm showing some different cards made with Verve's brand-spankin' new Because of You set. There are some beautiful floral images in this set, as well as some of the most incredible sentiments honoring mothers and other women in our lives. This first card is my personal favorite of the three. A little bit more of a scrappy look. The designer papers are all from K&Co's Retro Flowers pre-scored card pack. I also used the Elegant Flower Plain Jane for the larger layer of the flower.
This next one is my sample for Jen's Sketch For You To Try this week:
The papers are from the same K&Co pack. A little wilder and brighter this time! Since I'm posting a little bit late (sorry, my 5yo had her first softball game ever this morning - so cute!), I've already seen what the rest of the SFYTT sistahs have made, and I've gotta say their samples are among my favorites ever. I hope you'll check 'em out!

This last one uses my favorite image from the set and another paper combo from that same K&Co pack:
Can you tell I love these K&Co papers?
Have an awesome weekend! It's supposed to be close to 80 degrees here in Northern Virginia!

You've really been busy! These are all fabulous. (no surprise...LOL) Sorry i didn't get a chance to see you when I was in VA. We ended up coming home earlier than originally planned which complicated the trip and plans a bit. But, sadly, the weather wasn't THAT nice while I was there.
Your cards are just plain gorgeous! I love every single one and I so love the stamps on them.
All so pretty, Miss Amy!
I especially like the first one...those papers are really pretty.
I also love your plain Jane cards...I never would have had the urge to buy those...until I saw what YOU did with them!
WOWZAS Amy! These are AMAZING!!
Amy, I'm blown away every single time I visit your blog. Every....single....time!!! Gorgeous creations...every single one!!
What can I say Amy!!! I'm looking for my jaw again that just dropped on the floor. Amazing!
