And to cap off this release, we're giving away the entire release to one lucky commenter along today's hop, so come along with us as we share one last look-see at our newest release!
If you have come here from Laurie's blog you are right on track. If you just happened upon the Hop, today's hop list is a bit lower down or you can head over to Verve Blog for the full Hop List.
Today's spotlight is on the entire June 2015 Release, so grab a treat and hop along!
A few months back I found this honeycomb paper on sale at my LSS and picked it up for no other reason than it was on sale and I figures somewhere along the line I could use it. Fast forward to The Buzz entering my life and a match in heaven was made - too bad I only got one sheet LOL! Added the honeycomb die under the bee as well as some Stickles to its wings and I am indeed being joyful :)
For my second card today, I used this fabulous Psalm 19:14 Plain Jane. Going to be humming the song all day now :) Adore the new Butterfly Dreams die as there are two butterfly dies in it which allows you to use the butterfly with the antennae, one without or to layer them as I did with mine. Added a few half pearls to the wings for some detailing and focus as they needed to stand out a bit more.
