December Diva Inspirations Hop!


Welcome to Verve's December Diva Inspirations Hop. It's the 5th of the month and that means it's hopping time. We love to get our Verve inky around here. So pull up a chair and take a tour of some fun creations using Verve favorites .It's sure to be a treat, and speaking of treats, we've got a prize for one lucky commenter along the hop! Check out the Verve Blog today for all the prize info and deadlines.


I have a slightly grungy, distressed card to share today. I have used a BUNCH of Verve goodies, love all the mixing and matching! I've used the Wavy Hearts and I Heart U dies for the main sentiment, sponging and glittering the edges of the edges. The heart was stamped repeatedly with love from the You and I stamp set then given a thick coat of rock candy crackle paint.


The sentiment is from one of my first Verve sets, All About You. The background was spritzed with a marker and teeny stars were stamped from Starlight, Starbright (retiring - get it before it's gone!) I've also accented with some little stars from the Starry Die, embossed with the swiss dots folder. Some stitching and sequins finish it all off!

Here's the inside of my card: 


Another great sentiment from All About You!

It's time to hop on over and visit with the ever fabulous Susan! Here's the full hop list if you need to start over! Don't forget to comment here before you leave for a chance at the prize!!
