New Verve...Love Notes

Welcome to Day 2 of the Spotlight Release Diva Hop! I really enjoyed seeing all the fabulous creations from yesterday and am looking very forward to today's lineup! Today we are sneaky peeking the new Love Notes set. What a beautiful array of Valentine-y and all around adoration stamps. Here's my card using lots of bling and pink:


This card was REALLY simple to make, I cut out the heart using one of Verve's new die cuts called Jotted Heart and distressed it a bit with some Antique Linen distress ink. I layered that over some vintage lace and added that gorgeous Prima flower. I stamped the patient/kind sentiment on a piece of paper and then rolled it over a pencil to avoid any wrinkles in the paper, yet still give it a little curve. The flourish is all one piece and I really think that adds huge "bling" appeal.

A complete list of hoppers is available on the Verve blog should you need it.   Be sure to leave some love on the posts you visit as there are prizes hidden along the way for a lucky commenter!  The cut-off for comments is Friday at 6 pm Mountain. Our sneak peaks for these 3 days will culminate with a release party on Friday, January 7th at 9pm in the Verve forum at Splitcoast Stampers so tune in to see all the new sets and find out who will be the lucky prize winners!
