Verve Spotlight Hops - Day 4!





Welcome back to Day 4 of Verve's March Spotlight Hops!  The Verve Divas and special guests are back for another day of spotlighting our new release! Everything previewed this week is available to order in the Verve online store. So come hop along and take a closer look at Simply Amazing, and the Simply Daisies and Amazing Adjectives die sets.


If you got her from Amber's Blog you are in the right spot, otherwise, you may want to start at the very beginning at the Verve Blog so you do not miss a thing!




For my card I wanted to make those colorful daisies pop even more so I decided to sponge a background and add some water droplets for dimension and texture.  I combined three colors of Ranger Distress Inks in random areas.  I spritzed on some water here and there to create the look.  




For my flowers I die cut, stamped, and white embossed three full size daisies and three small daisies onto watercolor paper using the Simply Amazing stamp set and the Simple Daisies die set.  I watercolored each flower using more Ranger Distress inks.  I added some foam tape to layer the smaller flower over the larger flower with some dimension.  I also used some foam tape to pop up each of the flowers from the card.  



For my sentiment, I die cut Verve's Flag It die set.  I stamped the sentiment from Simply Amazing stamp set using black hybrid ink.  I layered and arranged the flowers with some loose threading and tucked the sentiment behind.  I finished with a few sequins.
