Verve Release Spotlight ~ Day 4

Hello friends!!! Today we are taking a sneak peek at the soon-to-be-released Verve set Dream Big.  It is loaded with beautiful sentiments in mixed fonts...I love these!!!  This card was inspired by one I saw in the latest Paper Crafts magazine on Style.  I've always loved scallops but have never used them for the actual card base...so here we are :)  I made my own flower using my poinsetta dies (not just for Christmas!), hoping it would look like a dahlia or other pointy-petalled flower.  The leaves are also from Dream Big.  I've used 2 of the 3 different sizes  included in the set.  I thought green leaves would throw off the feel of the card, so chose to ink them in aqua and brown.  How elegant is that sentiment?  ACK!!! I just love those swirly letters!!!  Okay, now onto a more fun and cute card using this same set.

There are 3 flower and three stems in this set as well.  I thought I'd ink and cut these flowers out to add more dimension.  The grass was more of an experiment...I wanted to make it a bit different with felt rick rack and ribbon.  I've also distressed the edges of the white panel and brushed them a bit with tea dye ink.  Oh, there's that fabulous font again  {insert swoon here}!!

Ready for some more amazing creations with Dream Big?  Here's a list of the Divas sneak peeking today or start over at the Verve Blog.  Remember to leave comments along the way for a chance to win this set :)  Also, there is a Sketch Challenge over on the Splitcoast Verve Forum with even MORE chances to win prizes!!  Julee really knows how to throw a party!!!  See you tomorrow with another sneak peek!!!
