Anni-VERVE-sary Blog Hop!!!

Welcome to the first ever official Anni-VERVE-sary Blog Hop. Verve turns two today and we’re celebrating with a hop, hop, hop! The party kicked off over on the Verve blog, so if you’ve just happened along, be sure to hop on over there to start from the beginning! And to make this party a real shindig, there’s a mystery jackpot hidden at one of the stops along the hop. One lucky commenter on that blog will win Verve’s entire August release! But of course, it wouldn’t be a mystery if you knew which blog, would it? So if you’re feeling the love, give a little shout out to the bloggers in the hop and you just might have a reason to jump for joy!
For my card I used one of my favorite sets~ (ok they are all my favorite lol!) Kindred Spirits. I stamped the oval image twice, once on Kiwi Kiss and once on white with Versafine Onyx Black ink. I stamped the cluster of fleur de lis' with Kiwi Kiss, and the sentiment over the top. I cut out the oval part and popped it up over the Kiwi Kiss layer. I added some texture using my Argyle and Swiss Dots CB Folders. I also added a border of the fleur de lis' on the inside. That's pretty much it for me : ) Now it’s time to hop on over to Regina’s blog, for a little more Verve-y goodness. Thank you so much for stopping by!
