A Happy Hello

Happy Wednesday! Wow, it feels like the week is just flying by! Today is the 5th day of the Verve new release spotlights, and today the Divas are shining their spotlights on two new sets... Kind Words and Happy Hello.  Be sure to check out the full hop list at the bottom of this post and leave a little love as you hop around the blogosphere for a chance to win today's sets! 
 

For my sample card, I chose to work with Happy Hello.  This Fall To Layout {FT102} from a couple weeks ago really caught my eye, so it was the main inspiration for my card.  I started by stamping the circle frame from Happy Hello three times in Cherry Cobbler on some Neutral Patterns paper (just love this text print paper), then punched out with a 1.25" circle punch and matted with a 1.375" circle punch in cherry cobbler.  The little primas were from a recent shopping excursion to Michael's. For my sentiment, I stamped the Hello stamp in black directly on the patterned paper, then stamped the A Happy stamp on cherry cobbler with whisper white craft ink, then cut out and pasted next to it.  There's a stamp in the set that is just a trio of little circles.  I stamped it on either side of the completed sentiment to give me perfect placement for my hot fix silver glam rocks that I applied.  A little Divine Twine, a notebook edge border punch and some distressed edges and my card was finished!

That's all from me today.  Time to check out more peeks on the Diva blogs...
