Happy Saturday, Verve fans! In just a few days Verve Stamps will be releasing a plethora of new stamp sets, and the Divas will be showcasing a new set every day from today until Thursday, August 19th. You can find a list of participating Divas each day at the Verve Blog. These amazing sets will be released on August 20th after our Release Chat at the Verve Forum.
Today we are showcasing “Love Story”. The 20-piece stamp set has 14 sentiments, a flourish frame, a decorative heart, and three dove images. Julee has totally outdone herself once again with this wedding/anniversary set. I wanted to keep the layout simple, so I used the Fall To Layout #81 challenge from the Clean and Simple Stamping Blog. I pierced the edges of the top Kraft Cardstock panel, then stamped the sentiment in Black Ink. I also sponged the edges of the panel with Sahara Sand Ink and a Sponge Dauber. I used a 3/4” Circle Punch and 1” Circle Punch to create the "windows” in the panel, then stamped two of the dove images inside them. After adding some White Pearls, Black Saddle-Stitched Ribbon, and tons of Dimensionals the card was complete.
Now let’s see what the other Divas have up their sleeves using this same set:
- Jen Tapler
- Susan Liles
- Tosha Leyendekker
- Laurie Schmidlin
- Julee Tilman
- Teresa Kline
- Amber Hight
- Lynda Benden
- Sony Christoph (Guest Diva)
- Maureen Plut (Guest Diva)
How would you like to win this set? Be sure to leave a comment back at the Verve Blog each day during the previews. One lucky commenter will be randomly chosen from the official sneak peek posts to win the set(s) being peeked that day. Deadline for comments is 6pm EST Friday, August 20.
That’s it for me today! Thanks for stopping by, and I’ll see you back here tomorrow with this week’s Mercy’s Magnificent Musings!
