Welcome to Verve's February Diva Inspirations Hop. It's the 5th of the month and that means it's hopping time! This month we've got a bloomin' good challenge for you along with our usual inspiration! So in addition to a comment prize hidden along the hop, you can play along with the challenge and link up your creation for a chance to win another prize!
Our February challenge is Floral Fantasy:
February is the month of love and flowers are a popular gift
so add some petal power to your cards this month!
February is the month of love and flowers are a popular gift

For my card today, I decided to keep it simple with the flower theme - I used the flower that is part of the cake from the Big Wish stamp set for the Floral Fantasy Theme and mixed it up with the sentiment from the Joyful Blooms. I tried to keep the colors of the card the same as the inspiration picture (I used some of my Basic Grey from way back - so good to use my scraps!) It was so much fun to make this card - just in time for my friend's party this weekend :)
Here is a close up of my card with the flower as part of the cake (can I just say that now I want cake :) Anyone have recommendations for some good cake recipes? I also found this felt loop ribbon trim from a few years ago - so glad that I kept it - it was the perfect addition to this card - yay for scrap hoarding :) j/k lol!!!
Stamps: Big Wish stamp set and the sentiment is from the Joyful Blooms.
Inks: Memento Tuxedo Black, Love Letter and copics
Papers; Basic Grey (and die cut from the Sweet Shoppe)
Accessories: dimensionals, felted loop ribbon trim, twine, liquid pearls and corner chomper
