Verve Divas Inspiration Hop {May}

Welcome to Verve's May Diva Inspirations Hop. It's the 5th of the month and that means it's hopping time! This month we've got a fabulous challenge that's sure to take you on a sentimental journey! 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 April challenge is Font Focus:



Fancy fonts are all the rage! Let your inner wordsmith shine and make a gorgeous sentiment (or two or three!) the focus of your card. Whether you draw inspiration from the graphic or take some poetic license of your own, just flash us some fonts!

I love how the stamp sets from Verve always have a great mix of sentiment stamps with amazing fonts, so this challenge is a fabulous way to show them off!



I started by stamping the dotted background from Better Together in blue ink and then stamped the poppy trio from Poppy Birthday directly over the top.  I used the solid stamps to fill in the red flowers and then added the little leaf on the side.  The stems and leaf are colored in with Copic Marker YG13.  I added the birthday sentiment and highlighted "Amazing" with the arrow image from Better Together, in yellow ink.  Of course, no card is complete without a little bling too.


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!
