Spotlight Hop Day 5 - RELEASE DAY!

Hi Verve fans!  It's finally time to release new Verve into the world!  Hooray!  This has been the longest span we've ever had  between releases, and I'm so happy it's finally here!  The stamps I designed were originally meant for our 6th Anni-VERVE-sary in August, but life happens, and we're now having a bit of a belated birthday celebration!


We've had a giveaway every day this week, and today's no different!  Just hop around to the blog posts below where our Divas are sharing their first looks at Rain or Shine and leave a little comment love at each stop and you'll be entered in a drawing to win today's featured stamps!  Woohoo!

For today's card I stamped the small umbrella from Rain or Shine onto soft sky then added stripes and polka dots with a white gel pen.  Did the same on real red cardstock and then pieced onto the middle umbrella.  The butterflies are made by stamping one of the raindrops four times to form a butterfly shape, then I accented with a white gel pen and some tiny black rhinestones.  I've accented my sentiment panel with a smoky slate border using the Award Banner Trim Die and finished with a bit of liquid pearls.

Okay, on with the hopping!  I'm the first stop on the hop with another card using this set!

I'm a sunshine girl, but I also love the rain.  Nothing makes the grass greener and the world seem brighter than a little sunshine after the rain.  My twins LOVE books, and pretty much adore any book you can sing.  A couple of their favorite books are the adorably illustrated You Are My Sunshine and Rain, Rain Go Away.  I must read/sing these both at least 10 times a day to the boys, so it seemed the perfect inspiration for a set!




Thanks so much for hanging out with us this week! Here our links to our entire release, which is ON SALE and available in the store right now!
