Day 3 of our Anni-VERVE-sary Spotlight Hops!


Verve Stamps May 2016 Spotlight Hops





Welcome back to Day 3 of our Anni-VERVE-sary Spotlight Hops!  The Verve Divas and special guests are back for another day of spotlighting our new release! Everything previewed this week will be available to order in the Verve online store on 
Friday, August 26.  Today we're sharing our first projects featuring the Potter's Clay stamp set and coordinating, Pottery Die Set.



For my card I started with some watercolor paper and did some ink smooshing using peacock feathers and tumble glass distress inks.  I added a few splatters from more concentrated inks. I let it dry thoroughly then stamped the sentiment from  Potter's Clay stamp set in versafine onyx black in several time using my MISTI.    



I  die cut the three pottery jars using Pottery Die Set.   I stamped each in warm tones to add to the masculine feel of this card.  I added a little bit of dimension to only one of the clay pots.  I added a few of Verve's Shine Bright Sequin Mix and finished my card by attaching it to a rich teal colored base card stock panel.
