Happy Anniversary, Verve!!

Welcome to the first ever official Anni-VERVE-sary Blog Hop. Verve turns two today and we’re celebrating with a hop, hop, hop! The party kicked off over on the Verve blog, so if you’ve just happened along, be sure to hop on over there to start from the beginning! And to make this party a real shindig, there’s a mystery jackpot hidden at one of the stops along the hop. One lucky commenter on that blog will win Verve’s entire August release! But of course, it wouldn’t be a mystery if you knew which blog, would it? So if you’re feeling the love, give a little shout out to the bloggers in the hop and you just might have a reason to jump for joy!

I wanted to use the Mojo Monday sketch from this week for my card, so I chose the Plain Jane tree as my main image and stamped it twice with Antique Linen distress ink before I cut it out with a circle nestie and sponged it while it was still in the die. I stamped another tree on watercolor paper with Palette Burnt Umber ink and watercolored it with my SU markers. This one I cut out with an oval die. I was able to find some very thin cork which I cut as a tag and stamped it with the Heartfelt Thanks stamp that came in one of my packages of Verve-y goodness. I added some brads, some stitching and some dimension, and Voila! a Thank You card for Verve for being around for two years. I *love* your beautiful stamps!

Thanks for stopping by! Now it’s time to hop on over to Beverly’s blog, for a little more Verve-y goodness.
