I made a few cards with a couple different sentiments.

Verve - Surely Goodness

Hi All - have an non-DT card today.  Needed some any occasion cards and get well cards also (those will be in a separate post) so I made a few cards over the weekend. 

I've been wanting to use this set from Verve called "Surely Goodness" and this DCWV Latte mat stack I got on clearance last year.  Love the color combination in this paper stack.  So nice to use some items I've had for awhile too.

This is a really simple card, which was totally inspired by a card Jen posted July 11th.  I loved the layout and how she added the twine/string to hide the seam between the 2 paper panels.  

The flower is 2 stamps cut out and layered with a self-adhesive pearl in the center.  The ink is PTI Plum Pudding.  The cardstock is PTI Vintage Cream.  The sentiment is stamped with PTI Dark Chocolate ink.
