Happy Thursday! Today I've got so much to cheer about! First off, I'm the celebrity stamper for this week's color challenge over on the Pals Paper Arts blog! Their challenges are always sophisticated and sassy and I am so honored to have the chance to play along with them this week! And I was super excited when I saw the challenge colors - I've got a thing for green lately, especially Pear Pizazz, and pairing it with Early Espresso and Regal Rose is positively delicious!
So what do you think? Did you spy some new Verve in there? Today is also the kick-off to Verve's new release spotlight hops and I'm the first stop! Check my sidebar for the master hop list to see all the Diva creations and have a chance at winning today's sets!
For my card, I snuck in a little text background from a set we'll be showing tomorrow, stamping it repeatedly in Pear Pizazz for the background. Next up I stamped the small bird from Wordy Birds onto an SU! Decorative Label Punch, then added the sentiment from the same set in Regal Rose and added some layers to the bird and wing for some dimension, coloring him lightly with a blender pen and some Early Espresso and Regal Rose ink. The hearts are from the SU! Heart to Heart punch, and I punched them on some old patterns pack paper, then sponged lightly around the edges and added some dazzling diamonds with a glue pen. The stripey background piece is from the SU! Neutrals Patterns pad and I punched the scallop trim border up top for some pizazz.
The flower pieces come from the Amazing Wishes set, and I stamped them on the same designer paper, then cut out and layered with dimensionals and a sending love epoxy brad. The leafy branches are cut with the Swirls Scribbles die and I added a little dazzling diamonds for some glitz and finished off with a bit of pear pizazz twill.
Okay, that's all from me today. Next up on the hop is.... Mercy! And I hope you'll play along with the PPA challenge {PPA71} this week! These colors are just fabulous and I can't wait to see what you create! And be sure to tune in right here tomorrow morning for another Verve new release spotlight hop, as we countdown to tomorrow night's release!!!!
