Viva la Verve Sneak Peek and Blog Hop!!!

Hi and thanks for coming by! 

Not only is this the second and final day of sneak peeks but I am so excited to be this weeks Viva la Verve  guest hostess this week!   We are giving Amber a little break this month so each week a different Diva will be hostessing!  You can find all the details HERE in the SCS forum.  The theme this month is Ornaments and Winter decor.  Here is my sketch ~

Here is my card ~

The base of this card is Select White, Early Espresso and Jillibean Soup DP on top and Echo Park Wintertime DP in the center and bottom.  I added a small scalloped border using my EK Success punch.  The frame was cut from Select White CS and I used Spellbinders Labels Fourteen to cut it out.  Before removing the die, I stamped the cheerful friend script from Verve's NEW set called Text Objects.  This is an awesome set!!  Wait until you see all the awesome stamps included in the set!  Anyway, I stamped the text using Soft Sky ink and then removed the die which then left a white frame.  The leaves are punched from 2 shades of Bazzill Brown CS using my SU! Bird & Branches punch.  The cute little bird, from the brand new set called Wordy Birds, was stamped on the same decorative red paper and cut out.  I pieced his wing by stamping him on Select White CS, cut the wing out and colored using my Copics.  The Just for You sentiment is from Glad Tidings and was stamped using Early Espresso ink.  The friend sentiment is from also from the new Text Objects set and was stamped on a light blue piece of DP also from Echo Park and punched out using my Martha Stewart tag punch.  I tied the tag on a clear SU! heart button and added some silver beads.

Here is a closer look ~

Now, next stop on the hop is the VERY talented Michelle! I hope you have a great day!

This is really pretty Lynda - I like that red/kraft/brown/with just a touch of light blue color combination. Your background script is so soft and pretty - you must have a very gentle touch when you stamp. I love that Nestabilities 14 - mine arrived yesterday! EEEEE!
