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!!

ReplyDeleteHugs,
Sankari :)

ReplyDeleteBoth 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!

ReplyDeleteSuper pretty card!! I really like the highlighted card!! It just adds something!!
ReplyDeleteOk,ok, both are lovely but I do love the highlights. I was going to ask how how you did this.
ReplyDeleteHow 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!
ReplyDeleteI love the small detail to your card.
ReplyDeleteThe black matting on this card is so striking!! Thanks fir sharing today!
ReplyDeleteEeks! I love that little bicycle layer peeking out! Such an adorable card, Tosh!
ReplyDeleteBoth 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.
