Day 2 - Verve's 10th Anni-VERVE-sary Spotlight Hops!



Verve Stamps August 2017 Spotlight Hops

DAY 2 - Friday, 8/25/17
Welcome to Day 2 of the Anni-VERVE-sary Spotlight Hops!  It's time for another day of spotlighting the Verve release with the Verve Divas and special guests! We're super excited to have a few very special Diva Alumni joining us for the hop today. Everything previewed this week will be available to order in the Verve online store on Monday, August 28. If you just can't wait, you can pre-order the entire release now as the August 2017 Buy it All Bundle at a 30% discount through August 27.


Today we're sharing our first projects featuring the Bloom Brighter stamp set and coordinating, Blooming Die Set. A fresh take on the flower from the retired commemorative set Beautiful You, this beautiful encouragement set is perfect for a vareity of cardmaking occasions.

If you got here from Maureen's blog you are in the right place.


I started with a 4.25 x 5.50 piece of white card stock.  I stamped both of the small leafy images in the Bloom Brighter stamp set in different shades of warm colors.  For added filler I used the tiny dots images from Poppy Birthday stamp set.  


Next, I die cut and stamped one of the bold sentiments from the set and embossed in white using the Stitched Pennant die set.  I added two stamped and die cut leaves using Blooming Die Set to the focal sentiment for added detail. 



I popped up the focal sentiment using some foam tape.  I added some loose threading for added detail.

    I love the "stamped all over" background technique and have been trying to get better at it.
    This is really pretty and done to perfection. :-)
