Verve Divas Inspiration Hop {February}

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!

Isn't this fun!?  I love this month's challenge and for my card today, I used these gorgeous blooms from Brighter Days.
 


I cut out the Scalloped Flowers from some Cut & Paste Adorbs 6x6 paper from My Mind's Eye and then stamped the flower image in black ink.  I added the sentiment on a fishtail banner and embossed the background with an embossing folder.  The layout is Clean & Simple Stamping's FTL278.

Need a little inspiration? Check out the blogs linked below to see what the other Divas did with the challenge! 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.
