The new Verve sets are here and it's time to celebrate! If you haven't checked them out, bop on over to the Verve store to see the new stamps and the new deals. We've got 4 shiny new sets, plus 5 plain janes, so there's lots of new Verve-iness to be had!
After a fabulous day of sneak peeks, challenges and set reveals, we’re topping off our Spring Fling Blog Party with a blog hop featuring our new release. And to celebrate, we’ve got a very special treat hidden along the hop. One lucky commenter will win our entire release! So as you’re hopping along, be sure to give a little shout out in the comments if you see something that makes you smile. The lucky winner will be announced Tuesday evening, {March 10} on the Verve Blog. This is the first stop on the hop, so let's get started!
My card features the new set, Easter Joy. I was totally in a shabby chic mood {when am I not, lately? ;)} and wanted to play with this embossing frame I got a while back. It's the Medium Fleur de Lis & Vines Frame from Sizzix. I embossed it on Buttercream CS and then hand cut around the edges. Next I aged with a touch of Antique Linen and Old Paper ranger distress ink. The egg wreath is embossed in the center using Vintage Photo distress ink and then I pulled out my Watercolor Wonder Crayons and an aquapen to do a little watercoloring. The background panel is paper from the Nature's Storybook Collection by Webster's Pages. I distressed the edges and curled the corner with a small dowel.
The sentiment is stamped on cream, then cut with Classic Oval Nestabilities. I wanted to make the sentiment look like one of the eggs, so I used one of the flowers from Love's Flower to stamp on the edges in Tattered Rose distress ink. Then I sponged around the edges with Tattered Rose and Antique Linen and matted on a kraft oval. To finish off, I added a sheer cream bow and coated the frame with some Pearlized Top Coat by Smooch for some fun shimmer. The card base is 4.75" square and aged with distress inks.
And in case you get distracted or there’s a bump in the road, here's the complete list of hops:
