Verve July 2014 Spotlight - Day 2


Welcome to our July 2014 Spotlight Hop for Day 2!  We have four days of new Verve to Spotlight and everything that you see this week will be available in the Verve online store on Friday, 7/11. If you missed Tuesday's hop you can go to Julee's Tuesday post to view Moments Remembered Set.

You have come from Guest Diva Kay's blog if you are swimming through Day 2 spotlights and you are right where you need to be at the right moment.


The Peaceful Medallions Stamp Set has fabulous flowing designs which put me in the mood to create my own background paper. Now that is a great stamp set in my book! I used water diluted acrylic paints to get the color down and then stamped various medallions from the set to create interest. I duplicated this technique for the sentiment panel and just needed a few feathers from Moments Remembered Stamp Set because their so cool. Once dry, frame lines were made with a pen and ruler.

Here are a few closeup's of these fabulous stamps at work.




I hope your mojo has been tickled so far with the spotlights today and we'll be back tomorrow with more new Verve!

Your time is up here and you next hop is Charmaine's blog.

Let's Celebrate Plain Jane Style!

There is an Anni-Verve-Sary party going on today! Verve Stamp Company is 2 years old! The hop started at Verve's blog , so come hop on board and see over 5 dozen projects that are sure to get your Verve on! I've been waiting for the right time to blog about this project and when the opportunity came to join in the anniversary blog hop for Verve I knew it was time. My blog hop project today uses all Plain Jane Bible verses from Verve. I saw this project at Susan Roberts gallery on Splitcoaststampers and went to her blog to get the details . I decided to make one for my mother as a Christmas present...in 2008. Yep, I just now finished it and I have the blog hop to thank. Using sketches would have made this a whole lot faster. LOL The two cards shown in the picture above use the latest Plain Jane release for Psalm 121:1-2 (hanging on box) and Hebrews 11:1 (in front of box). And I'll give the details below, but first here's a slide show of the whole year. Hebr...
