Verve Turned 2

Yesterday was Verve's 2 year anniversary release. They released some fabulous new sets, including a $9 set that is called Enjoy. It is a really cool set because it comes with blossoms and stems separate so you can do what you want... and the blossoms have a resemblance to butterflies, so you can use them for that too!

Any who, because of the release party happening over at SplitCoastStampers (SPS), the Verve team had a bunch of games happening, including some sketch challenges by Julee. Julee always offers the most fabulous sketch challenges. Here are a few of the cards I made to go with Julee's 5 challenges (and NO, I didn't win!):

I used Verve stamps for all the cards in this post.
