Bountiful Harvest

Happy Friday!  This morning we're previewing the last set from our new release.  Then at noon Mountain TODAY, the sets will be available for purchase in the Verve store!  Hooray!

So this morning you're invited once again to hop around the Diva-sphere  for previews of Bountiful Harvest.  While you're at it, be sure to leave some comments along the way for a chance to win the set we're previewing!  Check out the official list of today's hops at the bottom of this post or check the Verve blog for all the details.

Today, our final spotlight is shining on a 6x8" set titled Bountiful Harvest.  This set is full of fall whimsy, with a turkey and a few pumpkin illustrations perfect for coloring or paper piecing.  Oh, and don't forget the 8 scripty sentiments that coordinate with the other sets you've seen previewed this week.  This set is so much fun to stamp with and I can't wait to hear what you think of it!


I just couldn't wait to color this trio of pumpkin images in this set, so this is the first card I made when I got my stamps.  The image is stamped in Early Espresso, then colored with Copic markers.  I used a Quickie glue pen to add a little fine toffee Flower Soft to the ground and some green glitter to the vines.  Then I sketched a little frame around the image and added the moon stamp colored with Copics, cut out, popped up and coated with lemon peel Stickles.  The background is one of the solid colors from the Pyrus BasicGrey pad and I ran it through with the Autumn Text Cuttlebug folder, then lightly sanded to highlight the embossing.

Next up I stamped the Harvest Blessings sentiment at an angle on a square, sketched in a matching frame, then layered it over some Early Espresso grosgrain that I ruffled, then topped with a bow.  The layout for this card is the VSWCMD3 sketch from our WCMD/ Release Week Challenges going on this week.  You still have until tonight to play along for a chance to win some Verve!

Thanks for stopping by!  Here's the list of diva-licious hops for today.  Happy hopping!

The distressing adds such a subtle background for these great images - that moon is sooo fun!

Awesome card Julee. I love the embossed CB folder and the ruched ribbon. I really like the little moon image.

One of my favorite sayings is: I love you all the way to the moon and back.....(can I have it in a stamp?) hint, hint....beg, beg :)

I can see using that moon with little hearts around it and that saying. Okay, I digress...your card is simply amazing.
