Hi there and welcome to the AnniVERVEsary Blog Hop! Verve turns three years old today and we're celebrating with a hop hop hop! If you arrived here from Tami's blog then you're in the right place! If you've just happened along then head on over to Julee's blog (owner of Verve) to start from the beginning and to find out how YOU can win a prize just for hopping along!! After all, what's a party without presents? If there's a hiccup along the way then you can head on over to the Master Hop List to get the full list of links!
So let's get to it!!
I used the new set, Always on My Mind. I just love the sentiments and the fonts in this set! I stamped the sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black on PTI Vintage Cream, cut it out with a 1 3/4" circle punch and layered it on a Kraft Scallop Circle Nestie. I also sponged the edges with some distress ink in Tea Dye. The sketch started out as Mojo 145, but I ended up veering away from it just a bit! The star was cut from Kraft with the Star Nestabilities and then run through my Cuttlebug with the Seeing Spots embossing folder. A button and twine bow finish it off. The DP is October Afternoon Thrift Shop and Farm Fresh (can't get enough of October Afternoon!). I added some machine stitching, a rounded corner with the AWESOME Corner Chomper (I feel it is my duty to get every stamper to own a Corner Chomper! LOL!), adhesive pearls and some ruffled ribbon to finish it off! When I was done I realized I hadn't used the darling little dangling star included with the set and just couldn't make it work!!
If you're interested in winning this set, Always On My Mind, that I've featured on my card, just leave a comment on this post by August 4th at 11:59 pm for a chance to win!!
Have fun and thanks for stopping by!!
