If you've come from visiting Julee, you're in the right place!!  I just LOVE this new set and die set from Verve!!  I LOVE the images, the sentiments and the coordinating dies make it a definite must have!!  I used some Fall papers from my stash to create this card, as well as the latest VLV Sketch!  I stamped the leaf outlines first, then used the "filler" stamp second for perfect alignment. I love the two-step stamping capabilities of this set!!  The sentiment was stamped and embossed in white on black cardstock.  As a finishing touch, I added some gold cording.  Next on today's hop is Maureen!!  Thanks for stopping by!!

If you came from visiting Betty, you're in the right place!!  I LOVE the striking combo of black, red and white, so I used it for this card.  I love the font of this sentiment and thought it would look great framed by some stamped hearts from the set.  Another simple card, but I think that allows for the sentiment to be the focus!  Next to today's hop is Marisa!!

If you've come from visiting Betty, you're in the right place!!  For today's card I decided to go with a fun color combo and use that adorable little chick from the Little Ones set.  I used the VLV Sketch for the month of August as well.  The papers are from my scrap bin and they're all about love!  :)  The chick was colored with Copic markers and die cut using the Little Ones Die Set.  The heart was stamped and die cut as well.  As a finishing touch, I added some Shine Bright Sequins to the card for some sparkle.  Thank you for stopping by!  Next on today's hop is Marisa!!
