Due to manufacturing delays the Good Work set is available as a pre-order only. The Just Breathe set has limited quantities with more on the way very soon. Stay tuned next week on the Verve Blog for four days of spotlights from some very special Guest Divas, then we'll wrap things up with a Release in Review Hop next Friday!
Today's spotlight is shining on the Good Work set, coordinating Good Work Flower Die Set and the Psalm 150:6 plain jane. Also releasing today is our beautiful Frosted Snowfall Sequin Mix.
If you have come here from Charmaine'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.
Absolutely LOVE the verses in Good Work!! Squeee!!! Will be using them a ton as they are such powerful and life breathing verses. I chose to showcase this fabulous sentiment on my cared because it mirrors my life verse of Philippians 1:6 -- "for I am confident in this very thing, that He who has began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Christ Jesus". Such joy and freedom in knowing I am a work in progress :) Pulled out some of my hoarded Simple Stories paper for this card as I just adore this pattern and colour combination, created a little tag for the sentiment, added a few leaves for a punch of colour and a bit of yummy olive seam binding ribbon from Spring Fling. Can't wait to give this to my daughter as a little pick me surprise along with her favorite Starbucks drink.
For my second card I used the new Psalm 150:6 Plain Jane. Another fabulous verse indeed :) A mix of Basic Grey and American Craft papers created the base of the card. Used a tag for the verse and over stamped it with the wheat image from Good Work. Added a few butterflies as the papers reminded me of spring.
