I'm inking up a new set for me, Take Note. I've had my eyes on this set for a while and I finally have it in my grubby little hands! Ha!

I started with a 5x5 card base and mixed up some Cut & Paste "Adorbs" 6x6 paper from My Mind's Eye. I stamped the envelope image on white card stock and then cut it out by hand. I popped it up over the pink circle and added the arrow, which I cut out using the Arrow Die. The layout is Viva la Verve's October Week 1 Sketch.
There is so much more to see from the other Verve Divas, so be sure to stop by and see what Sankari has whipped up for you today - she is next on the hop.
