Verve Nov. Spotlight Hop ~ Day 2

Welcome to our Holiday Spotlight Hops ~ Day 2! Hop along with the Divas today as we share a look at a few of the new products releasing from Verve this Friday night! One lucky commenter from each day's hop will win the sets and dies featured that day, so be sure and leave a little love in the Divasphere! Check out the Verve Blog today for all the prize details and deadlines.

I went a bit geometrical on ya'll today. I loved the look of the flakes (or stars, or poinsettias...they could really be whatever you want.), and thought they'd be fun to make a pattern with and color. Stamped like this, they remind me of poinsettias. They're from the set Bright Spirits, which is filled with beautifully fonted sentiments, dove's, hanging ornaments, bells, stars, etc. This set has a little of everything in it to make a variety of Holiday cards.

I diecut the stamped dove with the Love Birds Die set, and glittered him up, and added a hanging heart to the sentiment on the inside.

This card also fits with the CCEE Stamper's challenge, this week, which is to include 3 different shapes. I have a button circle, a square panel of the images, and whatever shape you want to call with the sentiment. Be sure to stop by the CCEE Stampers blog to see what shapes the rest of the gals have included on their cards.

That about sums up today's card. Be sure to check out what the other divas are sharing today.

    Gorgeous card...inside and out! LOVE that bold geometric design (I could never line up an image that many times and get it so perfect!). :-)

  19. NicoleNovember 10, 2011 at 8:46 AM

    Very cool take. Not what I expected from you, and definitely not something this stamping-challenged perfectionist could take on, but I really like your patterned front. Love what you did with the inside.

    OK, color me confused -- one card right? Beautiful, PTI-esque geometric pointsettias with an inside of soft sponging, sentiment and dove -- others have called them separate cards, which they could be! Either way, I love the geometrics, something I'm working to master, and I love the sentiment,ornament and dove -- I'm lucky! I like it all!

  33. Crafty Math ChickNovember 10, 2011 at 1:56 PM

    These are both so pretty Tosha - your style is so versatile! I like your pretty geometric background paper and your elegant sponging in your CAS card.

  34. Kate PapeNovember 10, 2011 at 2:29 PM

    How long did it take you to make that geometric pattern. Such precision!! Fantastic job, and excellent use of the poinsettia stamp.

    I love the soft, quiet feeling of the second example. The dove, the sentiment, and the sponged(?) circle with no harsh line.
