Dance, Sing, Live - Viva la Verve!

Finally a chance to do a Viva la Verve challenge. The twist this year is inspiration and each month there are pictures of a different room to inspire each week. I just loved one for this week with a foyer done in mostly white with some black and a little hint of bright green. LOVE it, I say! So that's what I picked and here's my card:

If I do say so myself, I love how it turned out--pretty much like I'd planned it in my head and I love how girly it looks! I flipped the base card and I used an oval instead of a circle, because I wanted to use this sentiment, from Verve's Beautiful You set.

I'm using patterned paper from Black Market Paper Society's Ebony and Alabaster 6 x 6 pad. The small white panel is actually embossed with my Cuttlebug Textile folder but you can't really see it. Then, instead of ribbon, I added some black lace with clear jewels attached. Prima flowers and leaves add some interest and more of the green. The centers of the Primas are more designer thumb tacks--this time from Wal*Mart! You never know when and where you'll find something to use on a card, LOL! Huh, would ya look at that; nary a button in sight ;-)

Thanks for dropping in today! And, as always, thanks so much for the sweet comments--they always make my day!
