Verve Stamps: New Release Spotlights Day 2 !

Hi Everyone,

Welcome to Day 2 of the Verve release Spotlights for April, where today the Verve Divas are featuring the gorgeous stamp set: Bloom and Grow - along with 2 brand new "must-have" dies to die for:  the gorgeous leaves die called: Elegant Leaves and the beautiful flower trio die called: Floral Circle dies.

First of all - the number of flowers in this set is AMAZING - for real! And the sentiments are soooo inspiring, elegant and simply heartfelt!. I decided to keep the focal area simple and stamped one of the medium flowers in a light pink around the frame with the sentiment: " You, make a difference in my life" as the focal sentiment. I also added a little Flutterby butterfly die from Verve stamps (March release) to the top poof of the card and kinda went a little "layer" happy :))))


Card Ingredients:
Stamps: Bloom and Grow by Verve Stamps
Paper: MME and Bazzil pink
Inks: Angel Pink and Tuxedo black
Verve Dies: Flutterby butterfly die 
Accessories: corner rounder, liquid pearls, nesties, cotton candy stickles, rhinestones from Prima, dimensionals and ribbon from stash.


Okay - seriously - I think I might have gone a bit overboard with the layering - but it was so much fun to pair up the gray and pink and brown tones all together :).


 I couldn't help making another card with the awesome Elegant Leaves die - it perfectly cuts the beautiful leave stamps in the set and quickly makes the perfect accent. I used the sentiment: "Thanks a bunch" and paired it with a few flowers that I had cut out and popped up on dimensionals. I love how all the flowers work with each other and make it so easy to create fun layers of flowers :)
