Hold on to your Seats….
….Jenn made me participate in the VSN over at Splitcoast last evening. Here is the first card I made. It was for the sketch challenge. Of course I had to change the sketch up a little. I switched the heart for a butterfly.
The card base is a 4 1/4″ x 8 1/2″ piece of Not Quite Navy cardstock folded in half.
The next layers is a 4″ square of Chocolate Chip cardstock layered with a 3 3/4″ square of Baja Breeze cardstock on top. En FrancaisBackground was stamped on the Baja cardstock with Baja ink. The edges were distressed with the cutter kit. The corners were paper pierced. Retired Chocolate Satin ribbon was tied around both layers.
Both circles were cut out withCircle Nestabilities. The smaller circle was cut out of Bella Bleu Designer Paper, the edges were paper pierced.
The butterfly is from Simple Friendship. It was inked with Not Quite Navy ink, then I added Chocolate Chip on the body with the marker, stamped on Shimmery White cardstock, cut out and adhered with dimensionals under the wings…
For the inside of the card, I repeated the layers of the front of the card.
On the Baja Breeze layer I added a 1 1/4″ strip of Bella Blue Designer paper and a Eyelet Border punchedstrip of Shimmery White cardstock.
Have a wonderful day! We are off to the beach. It’s cold here today, but I have to show Jenn my beach. Hugs and smiles

I was reading the write up while the picture was loading (we still have dial up since we are so remote!)and I have to admit my nose was scrunched up as far as it would go when I read Not Quite Navy with Chocolate Chip-sorry! But this is gorgeous! I love the colors you selected! Another readon I love your work–you make everything go with chocolate chip paper!! Thanks! Kitty Rodahl

A card like only you can do them! It looks so great! Love it
I was out of town this weekend, but did manage to stamp a couple of cards for VSN when I came back home last night. I’m sorry I missed it - the VSN challenges always get my creative juices flowing!
TFS!
