Verve’s July Release Retrospective Blog Hop!

Welcome to Verve’s July Release Retrospective Blog Hop! The Verve Divas and guests are hopping today and serving up some more inspiration using the July release stamps & dies! Besides a peek at some really cool cards, there are also a couple of prizes up for grabs!

I think I used nearly every stamp from the July release on this card and I love it. I started by stamping the large peacock feather from Moments Remember on Blu Raspberry cardstock in Blu Raspberry ink (MFT) and I layered that with two for the medallions from Peaceful Medallions that I die cut individually and separated with foam squares. Next I die cut the banner for the sentiment and stamped it with smile from Happy Place and added two small banners from the Banner Bundle Die Set. To finish things off I started adding small touches of sparkle every where. I figure if you keep it small you can add more, lol! I used Tiny Twinkles on the medallions and banners and Platinum Stickles on the background.
