Verve's March Diva Inspirations Hop!




 Welcome to Verve's March Diva Inspirations Hop. It's the 5th of the month and that means it's hopping time! This month we've got a fabulous challenge that's sure to put a string in your step! So in addition to a comment prize hidden along the hop, you can play along with the challenge and link up your creation for a chance to win another prize!


Our March challenge is Spring Has Sprung:



It's time to ditch the winter blues! Create a card that sings Spring using inspirational quotes, pretty colors,  florals,  or themes that celebrate new life.   
Whether you draw inspiration from the graphic or blaze your own trail,
 just show us what spring means to you!

When I think Spring, I think warm weather, leafy trees, walks in the park, and a rebirth of nature.  One of my favorite spring colors is peach!  I used Echo Parks Victoria dp.   To create my Spring theme on my card, I combined Verve's Beautiful YouBountiful Backgrounds, Autumn SplendorSunny Days, and Christmas in the Air stamp sets along with Verve's Cut Above Flag It, Rounded Rectangle, and Rounded Scallop Frame dies.  I finished my card with a seam binding bow in Tangerine using Verve's Spring Fling Ribbon Collection.   I am using this week's Mojo Monday Sketch 335.


Need a little inspiration? Check out the blogs linked below to see what the other Divas did with the challenge! It's sure to be a treat, and speaking of treats, we've got a prize for one lucky commenter along the hop! Check out the Verve Blog today for all the prize info and deadlines.
