Be Mine - Verve

I was missing my Verve Stamps, so I pulled out some of my Valentine-themed stamps, dies and embellishments to whip up a sweet card.  

I took some liberties with the new Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge #379, but love those layered panels.  It's contest week at Mojo Monday, too, so it's a great time to enter for a chance to win some VERVE goodness of your own!

Verve is running a SWEET sale on love-themed stamps and dies, so check that out!

I used these Verve Stamps & Dies on my card today.

More Than Love

Wavy Hearts Die Set

Holiday Sequin Mix

The Wavy Hearts Die Set was cut from some alpha-printed paper and placed behind the focal panel to create a border/background effect.  After layering some paper and journal cards, I stamped the More Than Love "Happy Valentine's Day" and "be mine" sentiments over the front panel and added another wavy heart die cut to the center.  To finish of the card, the  center heart was stitched using a combination of zigzag and straight line and finally, some Holiday Sequin Mix was scattered about for some blingy-shine.

We have a new sponsor, Altenew, for this challenge!  A randomly selected participant will receive a stamp set of choice from the Altenew shop, while the LEAD will be invited as a Guest Designer in a future challenge!

 

Check out this Altenew stamp set, Hennah Elements, that I used to create my Winter Wonder card!   Isn't it gorgeous?  So delicately detailed!

I went with a simple approach to my card today.  I stamped the small flower over a piece of patterned paper, fussy cut it out and popped it over some stamped elemental leaves.  The THANKS sentiment was stamped at the top of the word art, too.  Altenew has such gorgeous and elegant stamps to work with!

 Oh, my!  Aren't these new stamps and sequins AMAZING?! 

The Verve Divas and I were jumping for joy when we saw this new Holiday Release! 

I stamped that gorgeous candle trio from Light the World, fussy cut and left in uncolored.. but jazzed it up a bit with some gold glitter.  The "MERRY Christmas" sentiment from Light the World is displayed as a bitty banner near the top of my card front.  The new Holiday Sequin Mix will likely be added to  each and every Verve Christmas card I make this season!  LOVE the metallic red, green and gold!
