Good Morning!!!
Welcome to the first ever official Anni-VERVE-sary Blog Hop. Verve
turns two today and we’re celebrating with a hop, hop, hop! The party
kicked off over on the Verve blog,
so if you’ve just happened along, be sure to hop on over there to start
from the beginning! And to make this party a real shindig, there’s a
mystery jackpot hidden at one of the stops along the hop. One lucky
commenter on that blog will win Verve’s entire August release! But of
course, it wouldn’t be a mystery if you knew which blog, would it? So
if you’re feeling the love, give a little shout out to the bloggers in
the hop and you just might have a reason to jump for joy!
As you venture through the blogs, be sure to check out the Diva's SUPER Sneak Peeks using our choice of stamps from Verve's BRAND SPANKIN' new release that won't be available until August 14th!!!! I know, I say it every release but you are going to LOVE the new stamps!!! Oh my gosh, just wait.....
The layout of my card is based on today's SFYTT ~
The base of this card is Basic Black with a mat of brown Bazzill and then a lighter brown mat from Basic Grey's Granola Collection. The cheetah paper is some old DP I had and was matted using Basic Black CS. The black rhinestone flourish is from Prima. The awesome sentiment and beautiful shoe is from Verve's new set called Express Yourself. I stamped the sentiment directly on the Basic Grey paper using Basic Black ink and stamped the shoe on the Cheetah DP using my Versamark and heat embossed using black embossing powder. I then cut the shoe out and mounted it using dimensionals. I then cut the entire image & sentiment out using my circle Nesties, matted on a Basic Black scalloped circle and then added 4 small black rhinestones using my quickie glue pen.
This was a SUPER easy card and after August 14th, you can re-create it!!! LOL!!! Here is a closer look at the image ~
Here is a look at the inside ~
Thanks for stopping by! Now it’s time to hop on over to Jen Tapler's blog, for a little more Verve-y goodness.
Have a great day!!!
