It's Day 2 of Verve's Spotlight Hop, and the divas are featuring the set Bloom & Grow along with some fabulous new A Cut Above Dies. Now, we're still counting down to Verve's release party this Friday night, April 15, with THREE more days of Spotlight Hops! And since we love to share, there's a prize hidden on one of today's hop spots! Just leave a little shout-out in the comments as you hop about for a chance to win some new Verve of your very own! You can check out the Verve Blog for all the prize details and deadlines.
I chose to use the Bloom & Grow set along with the Birthday Phrases set that was previewed yesterday. Now there's a fabulous variety of flower and leaf images and sentiments in this set so I thought I'd make my main panel focus on them. I was inspired by the photo, of blue and white eggs, on the cover of this months Martha Stewart Living magazine.
Sorry my photo is so dark, but that was the only way the blue stayed true. I used a deep ColorBox Blue called Midnight. When I photographed it in my tent it looked quite royal and bright. Now that's fine if I had stamped it in that color. :) I added a sentiment tag with the Charming Banner die, a few rhinestones, a bow and one of the new Sparklers by Webster's Pages. I also included a little star charm (JoAnn), and two punched borders (EK Success). Very simple, but I think the blue, against the white, is quite striking.That's it for my CAS card today. Be sure to check out what the other Divas are sharing today. Here's a list:

This is beautiful Tosh. I love how you combine white with blue. Stunning.
Isn't this pretty? Reminds me a bit of a piece of Dutch porcelain! Can't wait to get these sets!
Oh Tosh, this is gorgeous! Love that blue!! Fantastic use of those beautiful stamps. So classy and elegant, kinda reminds me of the old blue and white china.
Reminds me of some old dishes grandma used to have! What a beautiful card, Tosh! Thanks for sharing!!!
reminds of Delft tiles, i love blue in any shade. gorgeous
I agree with the other ladies, reminds me of Dutch dishes too - very, very pretty! I love how it's simple, yet has definite WOW factor! TFS!

Wow beautiful, thanks for sharing your wonderful card, absoultly breath-taking, gorgeous!
Absolutely beautiful! Love the blue and white!
Ooo! Nice to see some of the other images. I kind of thought the triplicate flowers and leaves with the matching dies were the whole set, with maybe some sentiments (and that would certainly have been fine). But these are lovely...enjoying your background paper!!
Man, this is fantastic! I love how you created this, just shows another unique way to use these stamps! Love your sweet tag and charm too, totaly sweet. :-)
Oh MY!!! Tosh - you just take my breath away! Seriously - I mean - wow - Love the way you did the bling all around the leaves and flowers - how absolutely gorgeous! Beautiful!!!

How can something with only two colors (if you count white) be so stunning!?!? Absolutely gorgeous. I too saw the MS mag cover and it really caught my eye, but would never have used it in this way. Beautiful. I could go on and on. : )
