Happy Mother's Day

A couple of days ago, Verve had a Diva Inspiration blog hop and it is so fun to see so many beautiful creations with such a variety of sets! In addition to their hop, they set up a little fan hop, too! I didn't have any particular ideas in mind so I closed my eyes, reached into my box of Verve stamps, and pulled out Because of You. I love this set and it is the perfect time of year for a Mother's Day card!

Last night I was working on some Easter projects (check back Saturday to see them!) and had my springy American Crafts papers out. When I spied these in the pile, I thought they'd be a gorgeous backdrop for that pretty floral image. I pieced the flowers twice, popping one up for dimension, added purple seam binding ribbon and a pretty rhinestone button for some sparkle.

Supplies: Stamps - Because of You (Verve), DP - Amplified Collection (American Crafts), Card Stock - Blue Sky, Whisper White (SU!), Ink - Basic Black, Ribbon/Button - MemrieMere (Etsy)

  3. Gorgeous, Jen! Your colors in this card are very well adjusted, looks so pretty! And lovely Verve flower!! I've been meaning to show you my first Verve creation on my blog, but the card still hasn't arrived to Malta, where I sent it... I'll wait till the weekend and then I'll post it anyway, it's with the cute, cute, cute birdies in pretty suits! Love that one!
    Hope you are enjoying the week!
