Anni-Verve-sary Spotlight ~ Day 6

Welcome to the last day of our Anni-VERVE-sary Spotlight Hops!  I hope you have been hopping along with the Divas all week long as we’ve been sharing our first looks at a few of the new products releasing from Verve TONIGHT (9 PM Eastern, 6 PM Pacific or Beautiful British Columbia time)!!
Today’s first card was inspired by the mini card set I made for the Day 3 Spotlight and my husband.  Many of you know that I married for the first time at age 40 (I was the “something old” in the wedding rhyme..lol).  But I know that things work out for the best and it took that long for me to find the man God meant for me :)  So here’s a little card that will definitely find it’s way into my dh’s suitcase on his next trip out of town :)  We are both not perfect, but we are perfect for each other.  I’ve used one of the several sweet sentiments from the Making a Statement set, as well as the lined paper image stamp.  The rectangle was cut with the Rounded Rectangle Die from the Day 3 Spotlights.  Up next is a card I made for my son’s girlfriend.  They were up visiting for my dad’s 80th birthday and she brought me a beautiful bag full of Body Shop products as a hostess/thank you gift :)  I just LOVED the bag and had to create a card with the colours
 

I’ve used the Rounded Rectangle Die again for the sentiment label…it’s the perfect width for this stamp!  See those white flowers?  I created them with the loopy leaf die being spotlighted today :)  I wanted to try something different with those dies…here’s how I did it (so you don’t have to spend an hour like me trying to figure out the easiest way!! LOL) 
1) I die cut 15 of the small leaves out of white cardstock and punched out 3  half inch circles with my punch.

  2) I put some repositional dotto tape on the circle and placed each leaf around, repositioning at times to get an even look.

3)  Then I threaded the buttons, put a glue dot on the middle of the flowers to keep the leaves in place and stuck the buttons on top.  This is a picture of the materials I used…the stylo was to push the tips of the leaves down so my inky fingers didn’t wreck anything!
