Mini VSN


Last weekend, Splitcoaststampers.com held a Mini VSN (Virtual Stamp Night); there were 6 challenges posted. A challenge thread is posted and you have 45 minutes to make your card. You don't necessarily have to take the picture & upload it within that 45 minutes, this is a fun night of challenges based on the honor system. All pics had to be uploaded by 8 p.m. tonight to be eligible for any prizes that may be awarded.

The Mini VSN was a prelude to next month's VSN Weekend. Lots of chocolate is consumed all over Stamping Land! Probably some wine, too, but we'll not talk about that!

This card is for the first Mini VSN Challenge, seen HERE over at Splitcoastampers.com. This was a combination challenge - sketch,color, and punches or dies, and the only stamp is the sentiment.

I punched three hearts, folded them in half, and glued them together to make the flower. I used a sizzlet die to make the leaves and green under the petals. The stem was cut freehand. You can't see it in the pic, but I traced over the sentiment and along the edges of the flower petals with a clear glitter pen.
