If you have come here from our newest Lesley's blog you are right on track.  If not, you can go to the Verve blog for the hop list to get caught up.

For my card I used the vertical, colour blocked stripes on the pillows and the colour combination.  I added a doily as per the doily images on the carpet, and then layered my beloved Jotted Heart die with the Elegant Leaf die which was over stamped with the coordinating leaf image from Bloom and Grow.    Next came the Scroll Die with over stamped with the scroll image from Die Sidekicks and sentiment from Great Friend and a red heart using the Heart Quartet die set.  The ribbon is from the Truly Madly Deeply Ribbon Collection.  Think this is a record for me as I used eight Verve goodies on one card - a wonderful testament to how well Verve sets and dies coordinate :)


Need a little inspiration? Check out the blogs linked below to see what the other Divas did with the challenge! It's sure to be a treat, and speaking of treats, we're giving away a $30 gift voucher to Verve to one random commenter along the hop.  Just leave a little love as you hop about for a chance to win!
