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.
Card Supplies:
Stamps: Moments Remembered, Peaceful Medallions, Happy Place (Verve)
Paper: Bitter Chocolate (Bazzill), White (PTI), Kraft (MFT), Blu Raspberry (MFT)
Ink: Rich Cocoa (Memento), Blu Raspberry Die Ink (MFT)
Accessories: Spellbinders Circle Dies, Banner Bundle Dies Set (Verve), Tag Me Die Set (Reverse Confetti), Tiny Twinkles (Taylored Expressions), Platinum Stickles (Ranger), foam squares (Scrapbook Adhesives), Quick Dry Adhesive (3M)
