Good Morning!
Welcome to the May Diva Inspirations Blog Hop! Our Diva Inspirations team is here to start your month off right with a little Verve inspiration! My card today is using some of the brand new sets Verve JUST released in April.
The base of this card is Vintage Cream with a mat of True back and then DP from Webster's Pages Hollywood Vogue. I cut the frame using Fancy Tags Two Spellbinders die, added a scrap of Vintage Cream CS that I stamped the beautiful sentiment from Verve's Love Deepens using Black Memento ink and then I took a black marker and traced around the decorative frame on the Vintage Cream CS. The flowers, from Hope Blooms, were stamped on Select White CS and colored using Copics. I added a Prima rhinestone flourish, Martha Stewart small butterflies and some SU! lace.
Here is a closer look ~
Now, take a little peek at each of the fabulous blogs below for some Verve-alicious eye candy and you just might win some Vervey goodness of your very own!
