Something Old, Something New.....

Hello!

It isn't my turn yet to show you my project for this month's Verve Project Parade BUT, I do have a card I made for the release and hadn't shown yet that will work perfectly for the challenge!!!  The challenge is to use an old Verve stamp set and a NEW TO YOU Verve stamp set on your card or project.  You can see all the details HERE on the Verve blog!

 

The base of this card is Soft Suede with a mat of Select White and then Soft Suede again.   The decorative paper is all from Webster's Pages Holiday papers from last year.  The focal piece is the blue/green DP from the same collection and I stamped the small snowflakes and sentiment, from Verve's OLD Winter Wonder, using Soft Suede ink (sentiment) and Antique Linen (snowflakes).  The tree is from another OLD Verve set called O Christmas Tree and was stamped on Select White CS using Cocoa Memento ink and then I added clear Martha Stewart fine glitter on the branches using my Quickie glue pen.  I then stamped the doves, which are from Verve's NEW Love Story set, using Versamark ink and then heat embossed with white embossing powder.  This piece was then matted on a Soft Suede oval, adhered on the card using dimensionals and then I added bronze Zva rhinestones.

Here is a closer look at the focal piece ~

 

Are you ready to play along?!?!  You should!!!  You can win prizes and use your Verve stamps which is NEVER a bad thing!!! LOL!!!

Have a great day!

A very pretty card! I love colours that you chose. The doves are absolutely perfect for this Christmas card. I love it when that happens!

I love the choice of colors. Reminds me of a vintage 50's motiff. And all the little gems are delightful.
