Verve's New Release Spotlight...My Favorite Peeps

I don't think that I have to tell anyone here that chicks rule. Us girls already know that. However, now we can let all our peeps know too! Today's blog hoppin' adventure is highlighting the new Chicks Rule stamp set by Verve. I chose to use this sweet chickie popping out of a Easter basket holding a cutsie flower from this fabulous set of stamps. Here's my "favorite peep" card:


I colored the chickie with Copics and the basket and bow were done using Prismacolor pencils. I really do need to use these more often, 1) because I've seen artists get amazing results with them and 2) that's the only way that I'm going to get amazing results...I have to practice!  I used Verve's new Charming Oval die to emphasize my sentiment which I've adorned with some small pearls and a little distressing.
This Friday, March 25th, is Verve's release party over at Splitcoast Stampers. And because a new release is something to celebrate, we’ve hidden a prize on one of the participating blogs each day! Just leave a little comment love as you hop around to be entered into a drawing to win that day’s featured stamps! Deadline for comment entries is 6PM Mountain Friday, March 25th. Winners will be announced at our release party on Friday night!
I hope that you are enjoying seeing what the Divas have created with the new sets! Here's today's list of Divalicious blog hoppers:
