Being Awesome and a HOP!

Hi friends!  Happy Friday!  There's a "new again" Verve release today and the Divas are hopping to celebrate! I'm the first stop on the hop, so grab a treat and let your fingers do the clicking! {grin} We've hidden a prize along the hop, so be sure to leave a little comment love as you hop about!


For my card, I pulled out the just re-released Petals & Wings set and Being Awesome Plain Jane. I stamped the polka dot flower centers as a fun little background in soft sky, pistachio pudding and blushing bride.  Next I stamped over the background with the  Being Awesome Plain Jane.  The separate antennae stamp is stamped directly on the background, then I stamped the big butterfly and hand trimmed (because the coordinating die set hadn't arrived yet when I was making my samples last week).  I finished off with some of the new Shine Bright Sequin Mix (so sparkly!) and a soft sky bow.

Thanks so much for being awesome readers and customers!  Next up on the hop is Amber!

Love the card. the ink dots highlighted by the bling is very pretty. The butterfly is great - matching the pink dots with the black edging really makes him stand out.
