…Anni-VERVE-sary Blog Hop

Verve is celebrating their 3rd anniversary, and the Divas are celebrating along with you!  We invited everyone to join us in this spectacular event, so we have quite a Blog Hop in store for you!  If you’ve come here from WANDA’s BLOG, then you’re in the right place!  If not, then you will definitely want to start back at The Verve Forum for the complete hop list.  So grab a cup of coffee, kick your feet up, and settle in for an astounding hop! :)

Prizes?  Did someone say prizes?  Of course there are going to be some spectacular prizes!  One lucky person who signs up and participates in our official blog hop will win a $100 Verve gift certificate!  We'll also be giving some prizes away to lucky commenters in the hop, so if you participate as well as comment on the hop spots you'll have more chances to win!

Now here’s the card I made for this wonderful occasion:

I created this card using the Verve set “Blue Skies”.  I stamped the notebook paper image in Sahara Sand Ink, then added the flourish in Groovy Guava Ink.  The sentiment and butterfly were stamped in Memento’s Tuxedo Black Ink, then the butterfly was colored with Copic Sketch Markers.  I used some patterned paper from Cosmo Cricket’s Earth Day paper pad.  I added some Black Cardstock mats and accents, and also added some Black Stitched Ribbon around the Kraft Cardstock background panel.  After adding some Paper Piercing, Black Stitching, and a ton of Dimensionals the card was complete.

That’s it for now!  Thanks for stopping by, and be sure to leave a comment by 11:59 pm on Wednesday, August 4th for a chance to win the “BLUE SKIES” stamp set!  I’ll see you back here later on for the TGF Blog Hop!  Until then, your next stop on the hop is EMILY’S BLOG.  See you in a few…
