Hello!
Today we are celebrating another Verve release with a blog hop! If you came from Michelle's blog then you are right on track. If you did not, I have a list of participants at the end of my post in case you are interested!
For my first card, I used the Verve's NEW set called Amazing Wishes ~
The base of this card is 5" square and is Select White CS. the next layer is True Black with a mat of a bluish/green piece of paper from Basic Grey's Olivia Collection. The next layer is first True Black and then Select White. I scored the top piece in to quarters and then added a polka dot embossed square under the pink flower. I used my circle Nesties to cut the 3 circles, added the same pink paper (all from Olivia) inside the circles and then stamped the darling flower from Amazing Wishes on the DP using my Versamark and heat embossed. I cut them all out, mounted them on dimensionals and added a black SU! button on the pink flower as well as THIS pink burlap string.
Here is a picture of the inside! YES, the sentiment is crooked!!! What the heck?!?!? LOL!! I didn't notice until I was editing the picture and didn't have time to fix it!! I used the same NEW set, Amazing Wishes and Vintage Oval Stamp as well as the coordinating die.
The border was punched on the True Black CS using one of my Fiskars border punches.
Now, hop on over sweet Shannan's blog! You will definitely want to see her beautiful creation as well as the rest of the Diva's!!!

Great card. Love the inside as well. I also like to create a little surprise on the inside. It's usually unexpected.

Your sentiment may be crooked but such a great card.
Posted by: Janine B | December 02, 2010 at 03:23 PM
A crooked sentiment is proof positive that the card is hand made. :D
I love the layout and how you used the Olivia paper. I'm stuck in the mind set that its only for kids, but you have definitely opened my eyes. TFS

Very pretty Lynda! I love the layout and how you stamped three of the four flowers on DP, added that button and twine bow, and that you took the time to decorate the inside as well.
