It's time to shine our sneaky Verve spotlight on some brand new stamps! We're counting down to Verve's release party this Friday night, July 8, with THREE days of Spotlight Hops! And since new Verve is something to celebrate, there's abig 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 the entire July release! You can check out the Verve Blog for all the prize details and deadlines.
For my card today, I used this weeks Mojo Monday Sketch 198, and chose to highlight the "Morning by morning" sentiment, from the set New Mercies, along with the sweet little sun and clouds. There is a fabulous variety of scriptures and sentiments in this set, as well as some beautiful flowers and solid leaf sprays. I know I'll find a lot of uses for this set. I added some ultrafine glitter to the sun, and the dp is all Blossom Soup by Jillibean Soup.
Okay, I rarely do this, but I couldn't decide which way I liked this card better. With the sentiment highlighted, or without...so I included both. :)
Thank you so much for stopping by!!
I've included the hop list below. Make sure you visit each stop. You want to miss what these girls have to share!!

Tosh, this is so amazing...I luv the clouds and sun idea above the sentiment....very sweet and clever!
enjoy *~*
So cute! I love the sun "sandwiched" between the clouds. And the color combo is beautiful!
very pretty, I love the way you did this weeks sketch!

Both versions are amazing, but I think I might lean toward the highlighted version. I love the way the black mats make the colors pop and draw attention to the great sketch. Such a fun card!
Great card and I love the one with the highlighting--nice touch!
Fabulous card! I love the colors!
so great! not sure which I like better- both versions rock :D the great papers and I love how you used the black to back each layer- really makes them pop!!
Really cute!
So pretty, Tosh! I love both versions but the highlighted one really pops!
Such pretty colours! I like how you matted the different panels in black.
Awesome card! I just checked out the sketch for this week and you've done it up perfectly!
a fantastic card...love the way you placed all that layers!
hugs and kisses from germany,

This is gorgeous! So fresh and clean...just like the sentiment...nice job!
LOVE your card! The papers are perfect with that sentiment - so happy!
I love both of them...but my favoritest thing is that little sunshine! Beautiful!
Beautiful as always! Love the clouds and sun!! And I love how you used the sketch, it gave me a hard time, :)
Great design!
So cute!! I didn't realize when I stopped by Amy's site that the cloud and sunshine were part of the set. Love it even more now. Your card is lovely, esp like the red and aqua.
This is so cute! I love both versions of your card. I think the card with the highlighter sentiment has just a bit more pop to it.
Great card! Love all of the elements you used.
So very cute!! Thanks for showing us such great ideas!
Great cards. Love the layout. TFS.
The little sun is so perfect for the sentiment! Love it! (both ways!)
I love this card both ways. ;)
Excellent use of Julees sketch!! Loving this sentiment!!! My humble thought....both highlighted and not look good!!
I love the sketch and I love how you made it work with this sentiment! Beautiful combo of papers!
Beautiful LO for a beautiful card. Love the popped up sun & cloud images on the sentiment panel.
Love both your cards. I actually like the one that is not highlighed better. I think the bold type draws your eye to the words. i like the way you did the sun and clouds. TFS
Wow, what a great card!
Very nice card - the black mats really make everything pop. (Polka dots are a favorite of mine!)
Fabulous card... as always! Love how you highlighted the words in the sentiment. I definitely need this set! Have a great day, Tosh!
I stared and stared and stared and I still couldn't make up mind because both ways are just gorgeous! LOVE the sun and the way that you cut the bikes on that strip of DP - awesome awesome Tosh! Simply beautiful!
Hugs,
Sankari :)
love me some jillibean soup! great card!
Both cards are fabulous, Tosh! I think I *might* like the highlighted one better but I think that's because it just gives the card a bit of "pop!" Great way to use the Mojo sketch!
Great card! Thanks for sharing!
awesome card. Love how you mat them on black. I like the 2nd version more but both looks awesome.
This is so cute! I really like those little bicycles that are peeking from behind the front panels.
So cute, love how you colored over the sentiment!
Ooh, I don't know which one I prefer either?! They both look good though :)
Wonderful card. I like both versions.
Love the card--makes me want to get on my bike and ride to find those new mercies!
Love the layout with the use of scripture.
Fabulous MOJO... The colors are soo cherry and bright!!! Refreshing!
Grrrrreat take on the sketch! Love the bicycle DSP! I vote for WITH the highlighted words! Makes it even more interesting!
Look how absolutely darling your card is!!! Love the sun and clouds and what a great idea for highlighting certain important words! Love that idea!
I always like dotted backgrounds - you've inspired me to do more with my own :)
Super cute card. Love the layout of it as well!
Great card! Love the colors! Amazing job with this sketch!
I love the highlighting...gives it a little something, something :)
Love that sun and clouds and your highlighting is perfect!
Fantastic card, Tosh!! Love the way you incorporated the sun and clouds into the sentiment panel! Awesome take on the mojo sketch, too!
Beautiful card. I can't wait to get this stamp set.
Super pretty card!! I really like the highlighted card!! It just adds something!!
Ok,ok, both are lovely but I do love the highlights. I was going to ask how how you did this.
How sweet! I like the un-highlighted version a smidge better (think I would put verse on a smudge of the lightest of blues--but what do I know?). They're both very cute!
I love the small detail to your card.
The black matting on this card is so striking!! Thanks fir sharing today!
Eeks! I love that little bicycle layer peeking out! Such an adorable card, Tosh!
Both cards are so very lovely, but I lean towards the highlighted words, even though orange isn't my favorite color! There's just something about the extra touch that draws my eye to it. Love your color selections, and your interpretation of the Mojo Sketch makes me want to play along! ;-)
Such a beautiful projects, love the colors!
