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:
I was in need for a few sympathy cards so I picked one of my favourite Verve flowers and kept the colours soft with a pop of pastel. I’ve used flowers from Great Friend and Joyful Blooms, the leaves from Bloom and Grow, and a sentiment from New Mercies. To make the background paper, I stamped the flowers in Versamark for a subtle look. The coral flowers are stamped in Groovy Guava ink onto Groovy Guava paper. To give the card a little more dimension, I bent the flowers and leaves up. It’s amazing how much something so quick can add to a card!
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.

So pretty Maureen.
Gorgeous card! Love the pop of color!
I love this idea for a sympathy card - the color of your flowers is exquisite!
Beautiful! Love the clean look of your card! Wonderful background!
Moe this is so subtle and heartwarming! Love the stamped layer and the beautiful blooms and leaves with their bling centers. I am shocked that you didn't tuck in another tiny sentiment like you always do. Stepping outside the box, are we? Regardless, it's perfection.
Stunning!!! The Joyful Blooms flowers are my favorite and I LOVE them in coral! The soft background is just perfect for them, too.
This is a very gorgeous card! Joyful Blooms is one of my favorite sets. I also really like how you did the background.
I am not a big fan of orange but I sure am a fan of it on this card. The gray and orange look great and I love the background stamping. Well done.
The background stamping is so subtle and attractive. This is a very sweet card!
Beautiful Card! Love It!
Such a pretty card...love the colours.
Love this classic look created here
Great card - love the subtle background!
What a wonderful sympathy card. Your background using is so pretty and subtle. Love the bling you've scattered around.
I love the stitched mat with the sentiment and the soft flowers....a beautiful sympathy card. I just had to fill up my sympathy cards as well. Wish I didn't but I always seem to need one!
Love the coral with grey color combo.
Very lovely card! I love your color choice...so pretty!
I LOVE your subtle colors that allow the sentiment to be the focus.
Thanks for sharing.
