Verve Divas Inspiration Hop {June}

Welcome to Verve's June Diva Inspirations Hop. It's the 5th of the month and that means it's hopping time again! So climb aboard Destination: Inspiration for a fun trip through Verveland today. In addition to a comment prize hidden along the hop, we're debuting our June inspiration challenge as well! Play along for another chance to win!

Our June challenge is Winged Whimsy:



Let your creation soar by featuring wings! Think butterflies, birds, feathers or related sentiments. Celebrate the beauty of flight! Whether you draw inspiration from the graphic or fly a solo mission, let's see some winged beauties!

What a fabulous challenge for June!  It was nice to look through all the Verve goodies and find the winged image for this card.  I chose to use this sweet little bird in With Love.



I started by stamping the trio in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and then I stamped them again on little sticky notes.  I cut out the images on the sticky notes and then masked the image, so I could then stamp the distressed dots from Better Together.  I stamped the sentiment from With Love in black ink and then added some yellow sequins from the Pastel Sequin Mix.


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, and a little bit about our brand new Diva!

  21. This is a delightful card. The yellow birds make it so bright and cheery and I think using the distressed dots to create a ground for the birds to stand on was a brilliant idea. Well done.
