Hey there, Verve fans!
You should've arrived here by way of the talented, Sankari.  If not, make sure you start at the beginning of the hop so you don't miss a thing!

It's time for the Verve Divas to bring you our monthly Diva Inspirations Challenge and Blog Hop!

There are TWO $30 gift vouchers to the Verve store up for grabs this month and two ways to win! First, comment on the design team's blog hop posts (linked below) for an entry in the first giveaway. Then to be entered into our challenge prize drawing, go get inky and link up your take on the challenge. You have until July 5 to link up. Feel free to play along with the challenge as many times as you like. Verve stamps aren't required to play, but we do smile a little brighter when we see them!

Summertime is on the way and a soft beachy vibe is our inspiration this month. Soft neutrals and bold pops of color are sure to bring a bit of summer flair to your projects. Take your inspiration from the graphic or follow the color pattern, just have fun stamping. We can't wait to see what you create!

I stamped the flowers from Beautiful Things stamp set using "tone on tone" effect, then die cut them using the coordinating Beautiful Flowers Die Set.  The leaves were cut from vellum and one of the Stitched Pennants Die Set was cut from striped aqua paper, while the sentiment was stamped over the main aqua panel.  After stamping the sentiment on the main panel, clustering the orange beauties together and layering up some pretty paper patterns, I finished the card off with a sprinkling of clear sequins.

Check this out!
It's a perfect time to stock on the Verve Stamps you've had your eye on!

This card I created for the hop today is going in my daughter, Hannah's, skate bag.  She is performing in her very first figure skating competition in St. Louis on Saturday...needless to say, I'm so proud of her and excited to watch her on the ice.

Now, you're off to visit Susan's sensational blog for more inspiration!

Thanks so much for stopping by the stage!
