You have arrived at the last spotlight hop for today and I have a question. Have your inspiration socks been fully knocked off? And uh.... what am I'm doing here with all these wonderful Divas? Please tell me, because it's still like a complete dream to me. For real, it's been a dream I've tucked away in my wish book and now it has a sweetly drawn check-mark next to it. Thank you for all the warm welcomes and to Julee (and Mr. Verve)... I'm speechless.... thank you.
Okay, all sappiness aside. Let's get a last look for today's Lucky You and Shamrock Die Set spotlight. I asked my daughter which of two projects to show you and she insisted that it be this one. "I like the shiny one the best", she said.
Lucky You has some terrific shamrocks and sentiments perfect for St. Patrick's Day and I can imagine another half dozen or more design ideas, too. I framed the sentiment with the outer lines of the frame from a set released about this time last year called Sweet Treats. I went back in with an embossing pen and then added more green embossing powder. I used the matching A Cut Above Die called Classy Label Die to shape it out.
I've finished up the blog hop for today, but if you've started here on my blog why don't ya gear it in reverse or make a u-turn and go through the hop list below with the other Diva's! There's one lucky blog hop commenter today that will be a random winner of today's spotlight! Lucky you! Get all the details and deadlines over on the Verve blog...
It's a great day to be inspired!
