Verve May Spotlight Hops - Day 1!

Verve Stamps May 2016 Spotlight Hops


DAY 1 - Wednesday, 5/18/16
Welcome to Verve's May Spotlight Hops! A new release is just around the corner and for the next couple of days we'll be shining our creative spotlights on the new Verve sets and dies releasing this Friday, May 20.
Today we're sharing our first projects featuring the Beautiful Things stamp set, Beautiful Flowers Die Set and the Stitched Pennants Die Set.

If you got here from the fabulously talented 
Lori Craig's blog you are in the right place!



 I have had so much fun playing with the new release products.  The flowers from Beautiful Things stamp set are so fun and beautiful to watercolor!  I white embossed and watercolored my flowers.  I die cut using the Beautiful Flowers die cut set

 
I layered the smaller flower on top of the larger one for added dimension.  I also die cut the leaves and watercolored those.  I arranged my flowers and leaves to a piece of watercolored patterned paper that I had stamped with a sentiment from the same set.  I finished the card with some Verve Shine Bright Sequin Mix.
