Friendly Diva Hop

Welcome to Verve's September Diva Inspirations Hop! It's the 5th of the month and that means it's time for the Verve Divas to breathe new life into some much-loved stamps and dies.   I'm at the front of the line today, so if you're just popping in, pull up a chair and your favorite treat and hop around for some Verve-alicious eye candy!

As usual, there's a PRIZE up for grabs, so be sure to leave a little shout out in the comment section of each blog as you hop about to be entered in a drawing for a $30 gift voucher to Verve Stamps! {A little gifty might be super handy for that new release we've got coming at the end of this month... just sayin'!}  You can check out all the prize details and this month's sale info over at the Verve Blog.

For my card, I pulled out Lean on Me and a few dies and got straight to work.  I didn't have much time, so I knew I wanted to make the dies do most of the work.  The flowers are embossed in early espresso onto designer paper, then cut with the coordinating Pointed Flowers Die Set.  I accented a bit with Copic markers, then embossed the sentiment onto a Rounded Rectangle die cut and then matted with the Rounded Scalloped Frame Die.    I distressed a strip of dp, then adhered to a soft sky base that is embossed with the SU! hexagons embossing folder.  A little espresso satin ribbon and some chocolate liquid pearls around the frame and I was done.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Next up on the hop is the talented Amy Kolling.  And don't forget to check out the Verve store for the start of our Autumn Sale!
