Check out the Verve blog post today for the full reveal of today's featured stamps and all the giveaway details! Today's featured stamps are: Let it Be and the Deepest Sympathy Plain Jane.
My card for today uses that Park Bench paper collection I've been so fond of lately. I thought it would be fun to do a little chalkboard technique with the Matthew 5:16 verse that's in the Let it Be set. My one little word this year is SHINE, so I just HAD to have this verse in stamp form. {grin} I embossed it in white on black cardstock, then used the Starry Die to cut out the stars on the black panel. Then I used my new white Stamper's Big Brush pen to draw in the frame and the outlines around the stars. A little gelato smudged on adds a bit more of the chalkboard effect. Next I layered this on dimensionals over the yellow paper, so the stars shine through. One big star is cut with the Starry Die and then popped up on 2 layers of dimensionals to really stand out. I added a coat of glossy accents and glitter to make it shine!
I fussy cut the chevron layered paper to finish off the bottom of the card, then added a little black on black texture with some liquid pearls on the black printed chevrons. The polka dot ribbon is one of my all time favorites and I'm so excited that we'll be carrying it in the store as part of our Polka Dot Basics Ribbon Collection!
Alrighty! That's all from me, now it's time to hop on over to see what fabulous little thing Charmaine has to share with you today! Enjoy the hop!!!

I adore how you popped up the star and add a touch of shimmer...gorgeous chalkboard technique too!
Gorgeous card! I love the popped up star and the colors are beautiful.
Great use of the chalkboard technique and loved how you popped up the star. I'm not a big fan of polka dots but that ribbon might be an exception. :)
Ooh love this sentiment and the ribbon is super cute! Great card!
This is beautiful. I love the starry die with this.
Gorgeous card! What a wonderful new net!
Love your card! (And especially love your stamps!)
The verse you used on this card is the one my God Mother wrote inside the Bible she gave me when I was confirmed. I still have it almost 6decades later.
Beautiful. Love the popped star and the verse.
I love that Park Bench paper too and the black and yellow is fabulous here. Loving the chevrons and the polka dot mixture and still swooning over the fact I now own some of that fabulous polka dotted ribbon!! :) Great card!
Your card is beautiful and yes, your art does touch people in the most special ways. Your goal - to let your light shine - is inspiring - and one you definitely accomplish each time I see one of your divine creations! Thank you for bringing your light into my life!

Beautiful card and chalkboard effect. I love this polka dot ribbon.
I'm in such an introspective mood!!! There's a lot of depth, suggesting that, within me, there are untold recesses that I can draw on to fuel my emotions and, in turn, my creativity. I like this. Nice job in using the sentiment to draw into what is NOT stated!
You rocked the chalkboard effect. I like the different ways you used the stars. Great sentiment too. Thanks
The chalkboard technique and the popped up stars are a match made in heaven! This is beautiful!
Cute cute card today. Love that new set.
Loved the chalkboard technique! The polka dot ribbon is darling and your fussy cut chevrons are impressive!
The chalkboard technique is so big right now. This is a great example of it.
