Good morning! Welcome to the Anni-VERVE-sary Blog Hop! (The blog hop starts officially at 9 a.m. Central, but I posted a bit early because I had to work.) Verve turns three today and we’re celebrating with a hop, hop, hop! If you've already been hopping along, you arrived here from Terri's blog. If not, head on over to Julee's blog for all the info on how to win prizes (after all, what's a party without presents?), and to start hopping from the beginning. If there's a hiccup along the hop, you can always head to the Master Hop List to get the full list of links.
I went for a clean and simple look today, since I wanted to keep the focus on the sentiment and the beautiful DP. The Serenity Prayer, from Verve's "Serenity" set, has long been a favorite of mine and I paired it with some papers from the "Lush" collection by My Mind's Eye. The card is embellished simply with cream trim and Swarovski flatback crystals.
Sentiment: Verve "Serenity" Set
Ink: Palette Burnt Umber
Paper: PTI Vintage Cream and Dark Chocolate, My Mind's Eye "Lush" Collection
Embellies: Swarovski Flatback Crystals in "Smokey Topaz", Cream Trim (my stash)
Extras: Spellbinder's Nestabilities, EK Success 3D Dots
Thanks for hopping by! Now it's time to hop on over to Angela's Blog, for a little more Verve-y goodness.
