Verve Plain Jane Release

Hi Everyone,

I have been so very lucky to be on the Verve Design Team for the last couple of years - I adore Julee and I adore the Design Team (not to mention the amazing stamps and dies!). This year I have been facing numerous challenges from health related issue in the beginning of the year to an increasing workload in my professional life in the last few months. I don't want to leave Verve stamps but am stepping  from the Verve Design Team to the Verve  Inspiration Team which will still allow me to stay with my Verve family :) Thank you Julee - I am so happy to be part of Verve :)))))

Today over at the Verve Stamps blog - the Divas are doing a little hop to showcase some pretty awesome Plain Jane stamps from Verve Stamps.

If you are hopping over here from Julee's amazing blog - then you are on the right track - or you can start at the beginning of the hop over at the  Verve Stamps blog . Julee will be giving a $30.00 gift certificate to a random commentator so leave a little love when you hop around!!

 I love these sentiments - they couldn't have come at a better time in my life - especially when you feel like you are being tested in so many areas of your life and have to find the balance to stay sane! I especially like this sentiment:

"Grace meets us where we are, but does not leave us where it found us."

 Isn't that beautiful! I don't usually do muted earth tone-ish colors - but there was something about these papers that inspired me to mute my colors a little :)

Card Ingredients:

Paper: Simple Stories(Fabulous series (Girl))

Stamps: Grace Plain Jane Stamp from Verve Stamps
Inks: Memento Rich Cocoa

Accessories: Nestie #20, Scallop border punch (EK success), twine, butterflies ( MS punch), silver mettalic paint, bling, liquid pearls, glue dots and dimensionals. 

I kept the layout simple - hand cut some die shapes and then stamped the sentiment and cut it out with Labels 20 from Spellbinders. I used some scallops as a pennant and tied some twine at the ends and added some vellum punched out butterflies that painted with some silver mettalic paint and added a bit of bling to the center of each butterfly.

This is such an inspiring sentiment - and I can't wait to use it and make more projects with it! Next up on the blog hop is the amazingly talented and holymolywow-y artist: Sony  

Thank you again for stopping by today --!
Big hugs,
Sankari :)
