It's a VERVE day!!!!

I'm so excited!! Verve is releasing new stamps tonight and I *need* some new ones... OK, so I may not *need* them but I WANT them! :) I haven't ordered since last Christmas and there are some new Plain Janes I LOVE...and I'm sure there will be some new releases I will just HAVE to have.

All day today, the gang from Verve is hosting a "Thankful Hearts Blog Party" and it looks like they will be posting some challenges throughout the day. The first one is a color challenge:
I popped over to the Viva la Verve Sketch Challenge at SplitcoastStampers to see if I could combine the 2 challenges...YEP! Sure could. :)

Sorry, I couldn't make it bigger but you get the idea. So, I pulled out my box of acrylic stamps and found a set from The Little Paper Shop that had never even seen ink...until today. I have to say, I *HEART HEART HEART* how this card turned out:

I have had trouble getting a good picture with my camera lately so please forgive the "brightness." Do you love it??? I found some old SU! DP that coordinated and it came together pretty quickly. I used Tempting Turquoise instead of Bermuda Bay and I wasn't sure that the colors would "work" but with the black and white in there they really do.

Recipe - Stamps: Topiary (Little Paper Shop) Paper: Tempting Turquoise, Old Olive, Basic Black, Whisper White, SU! DP Ink: Versafine Onyx Black, Old Olive Accessories: Clear embossing powder, Copics, scallop punch, circle punches, ribbon, adhesive pearls, metal clip, sponge dauber

I'm looking forward to seeing what else the Verve team comes up with. I have to go to the gym tonight but I will be back to ORDER!! :) Have a great Friday!
