Welcome to Verve’s October Release Retrospective Blog Hop! The Verve Divas are hopping today and serving up some more inspiration using the October release stamps & dies! Besides a look-see at some really nifty cards, there’s also a comment prize up for grabs!
For my card today I used Inspire Hope along with paper from Doodlebug’s Kraft in Color Line. I love that line of paper, lol. I can’t use it enough. To start my card I cut a cardbase out of Steel Gray cardstock (MFT) and layered it with Sugar Cube cardstock (Taylored Expressions). I then layered the background with a strip of yellow and a lot of green from the Kraft in Color paper pad. I stamped the sentiment on Sugar Cube with Memento Espresso Truffle ink. I then die cut a couple of flags from the Flag It Die Set from Verve. I used the Sprightly Sprigs dies for the leaves around my flowers and the flower is from the Goodness Dies Set. The button is from Taylored Expressions.
Card Details:
Stamps: Inspire Hope (Verve)
Paper: Kraft in Color (Doodlebug), Steel Gray (MFT), Sugar Cube, Granny Smith (Taylored Expressions)
Ink: Espresso Truffle (Memento)
