Good Morning! My card today is peeking another one of Verve's new release stamps sets called Dream Big. I have been working on my samples over the past couple of days and I'm thinking that this release is DEFINITELY one of my most favorite releases yet! I have loved all of my cards and just look at the stamps and can't wait to use them!! lol Too bad I don't have weeks to play with them but that's ok, I have gotten a few done! I am sharing one with you today that includes the flower and ONE of the beautiful sentiments ~ DREAM BIG.
The base of this card is Dusty Durango which I might add has NEVER been used. How sad is that?!? The next layers are Dark Chocolate and then Select White. The "grass" is Celery CS that was punched using my Martha Stewart grass punch and then embossed using my swirls embossing folder.
The flowers were stamped on Select White using Dusty Durango ink, cut out and then along the outside edges, I colored using my Tan Copic Spica glitter pen. I layered the flowers using dimensionals and added a Dark Chocolate button. The "stem" was sewn by hand using some green floss and the "leaves" are wide celery grosgrain.
Here is a closer look at the flower ~
Check out the Diva's creations using this amazing set, you will NOT be sorry!!! LOL!! While drooling over the Diva's creations, be sure to leave a little love along the way to win some fantastic prizes! All the details and some new release challenges, visit the Verve blog!
