Hi there! It's Tuesday and it's time for Mercy's sketch! Today is also the beginning of the Verve Sneak Peeks which will lead up to the Verve Release this Friday night in the Verve Forum on SCS! The party starts at 6:00 pm EST, so be there or be SQUARE!!
The set being peeked today on the Verve Blog is called Relax! It's a fun and whimsical beach set! I made a beach scene using three of the images, the palm tree, sun & just two of the five surfboards included in the set! The sand is a cool new product I found recently at my LSS called Sand Paste. It is made by a company called Mudd Puddles. It was my first time using it and I think I spread it on a bit thick, but I love the look! The sparkle on the coconuts and sun are from sugared glitter by Doodlebug.
I also decorated the inside of the card because I didn't leave a place for the sentiment on the front of the card.....something I forget to do often! LOL!
Don't forget to see what the other Muse's did with this great sketch:
