Hello everyone!! I have a Verve Diva Inspirations card to share with you today. I actually had time to join in on their hop this month and I'm so excited!! I had fun combining 4 different stamp sets with two new dies:A Cut Above Verve Dies: Penant Trim and Arrow
We just moved our daughter back to college last week, (2000 miles away), to begin her Sophomore year. She's a bit nervous because she decided to change her major and it's going to be quite a bit harder, so I thought I'd make a card to encourage her using one of the fabulous sentiments from Verve's Words of Wisdom set. I also used this week's Mojo Monday Sketch for inspiration.
The paper is from Authentique's Curiosity bundle. I thought the academic styled papers fit perfectly for my daughter's new adventure!!
Hope I've inspired you a bit. I'm bringing up the rear of the hop, so if you've been following the order, this is the end. If not, I've included a list below so you don't miss a "thang"!!!

ReplyDeleteGreat card! Love that pop of red!
ReplyDeletethis is such a great card! Your daughter is going to love it; but it would also work perfectly for a guy. Such an encouraging card to receive.
ReplyDeleteI really like this. I like all the layering.
ReplyDeleteWhat a stunner! The sentiment panel is brilliant - it looks like it's been rescued and is going on to fight another day! :)
ReplyDeleteI wish your daughter all the best and if changing her major was something she felt strongly enough about to do the it's absolutely the right decision :) I'm sure this lovely card from Mum will help too :)
Tosh! Your nest will be feeling a little empty and the kids aren't just around the corner!!! 2000 miles away? She must be in my neck of the woods!!! You will be keeping your mind and hands busy with your wonderful crafting talent. Love your verve beauty. I recognized the little heart first!! I also saw that you are a proud owner of that cottage cutz set with the trees and sign. Careful if you get the cabin; Pat and Kittie will be challenging you to a throwdown;)))) Hope all is well with you. We are thick into building our retirement house and I think it gets more overwhelming as it goes on!!
ReplyDeleteWonderful design and great layering! I like the little bits of stitching and the arrow that points to the sentiment.
ReplyDeleteLove your choice of pp on this card and the sentiment is so inspiring.
ReplyDeleteThis is the perfect card for your daughter! Such an encouraging sentiment. It's so hard to see them go, but rewarding when you see them achieve those dreams!
ReplyDeleteGreat encouraging card!!! My daughter changed her major 3 times and is still wondering after graduating if she might want to go in another direction.
ReplyDeleteOhhh your card is so grungy cool! It's got such an urban chic flava! Excellent card ;)))
