Welcome to Day 4 of our September 2013 Spotlight Hops! If you have come here from Maureen's blog you are right on track. If you just happened up on the Hop, you can follow the list below to get caught up. Everything previewed this week will be available in the Verve online store on Friday, September 27th.
Today's featured set is Poppy Birthday and the matching Build A Poppy die set. Meep!! If you know me at all, you know how I love Verve flowers, and this set is no exception! These poppies are fabulous!
I went with one of my favorite, dramatic colour combos of red, black and white in order to showcase the poppies. The matching Build A Poppy die set is fabulous for cutting these beauties out and I used the solid poppy image in VersaMark to darken up the red a bit.
