 A Happy One

Welcome to our May 2014 Spotlight Hops! 
We're so excited to share some new Verve with you! The Divas will be spotlighting 3 new sets, 3 plain janes and a couple dies each day through Friday, so keep your eyes peeled for some fresh Verve inspiration! Everything previewed this week will be available in the Verve online store on Friday, 5/23.

You should have arrived here by way of Chaitali's awesome blog!

I adore this new Verve release and thought I would make today's hop extra special by creating a set of cards using several items from the release!

 Be Blessed

I used the pretty floral images from Button Best, Pointed Petals Die Set, Sprightly Sprigs Die Set, and Be Blessed sentiments on my card set!  There are lots of Shine Bright Sequin Mix sequins sprinkled about the card fronts, as well!


The three cards of the set and envelopes were bundled up in a burlap wrap tied off with The Twinery Baker's Twine and embellished with a Sweet Scallop Die.


Your next stop on today's RELEASE DAY HOP is the fabulous Amber!

Thanks so much for stopping by the stage!
