verve diva inspiration hop-

It's time for the Verve Divas to bring you our monthly Diva Inspirations Challenge and Blog Hop! There are two ways to win Verve prizes: comment on the design team's blog hop posts (linked below) to see their take on the inspiration, then go get inky and link up your take on the challenge to be eligible in our prize drawings! You have until March 5 to link up, so feel free to play as often as you like.

I have used the verve cut above wavy heart die and the verve stamp sets no matter what and verve more than love. I have used week 1 viva la verve sketch, you can play along here!

The pop of color in this industrial style loft speaks of the hope of spring in the midst of winter. Kind of like February... it's still cold and wintry, but new life is on the horizon.

sunday stamps/ssc119-thinking of you

good morning, I am sharing my take on this weeks sunday stamps challenge.....a gorgeous color combo. I have used the stunning flower from the altenew stamp set called beautiful day. I used distress inks and some blending with water and then outlined it with a white gel pen, some stickles in the center for a little shine. The background was a lot of ink splatter and distressing, super fun to create! Be sure to play along with us and check out the design team cards...these gals are amazing! add a little glimmer to your life....sparkle & shine, kindness!
