Happy Phrases Spotlight Hopping

Hi blog peeps!  It's time to shine our sneaky Verve spotlight on some brand new stamps! We're counting down to Verve's release party this Friday night, April 15, with FOUR days of Spotlight Hops! And since we love to share, there's a prize hidden on one of today's hop spots! Just leave a little shout-out in the comments as you hop about for a chance to win some new Verve of your very own! You can check out the Verve Blog for all the prize details and deadlines.

For my card, I decided to start with Happy Phrases, paired with the  Charming Banner Die Set and Charming Oval Die Set.  I also threw in the Sweet Scallop Tag Die, as well as a peek at the new Floral Circles and Elegant Leaves dies that we’ll be previewing later this week.  My flower uses the three sizes of Floral Circles, which I ran through my paper crimper to loosen up the fibers, then sponged, painted with a little pearlized top coat, then layered together and added some pearls twine and chunky glass glitter.  The leaves are die cut with the Elegant Leaves die and stamped with one of the script backgrounds from Text Objects.  I stamped the same background in Blush Blossom on the Sweet Scallop Tag (stamp), then cut out and layered with the coordinating die cut.  The background paper is from BoBunny and I embossed the DP with the Damask Corners textured impressions folder, then lightly sanded, added lots of loopy loops of linen thread and pearls and a little Fiskars bird punch to finish it off.

Okay, that’s my little peek, head on to the next stop on the hop to see what other goodies the Divas are previewing today!
