Day Three of the Verve Stamp Release {Product Review} & the new Viva La Verve Sketch

Welcome back to Day 3 of Verve's May Spotlight Hops!  It's an exciting day as there's new Verve in the store this morning! 2 beautiful new sets, 3 die sets and a sequin mix just released and they're all available to order right now. To celebrate our new release, we're putting on another blog hop!
Today's featured focus is designer's choice, so you might just sneak a peek at a whole bunch of must-haves!

I just had to make a bright and colourful card using these new goodies! The flower in the set is so pretty and fun to colour. These flowers were completely coloured using my Copic makers. I used the flicking technique once again on the blooms.

I used the new stitched banner and an older honeycomb embossing folder! I die cut the little leaves from black card stock and then added some sequins with the twine. I think this is my favourite card from this week's release. I almost shared it on Day 1 but wanted to finish off with my favourite! I hope you like it too!

I also have a card made for today's Viva la Verve Sketch Challenge! I LOVED using the sketch created by Maureen!

I decided to use an older Christmas sentiment set and to create a Christmas card! I loved the large circle and the clean lines of the sketch!

The sentiment comes from the Verve set called Peace on Earth. One of my favourite Verve sets! I used my Spellbinders poinsettia die and some gold embossing for the sentiment. The side panels of the main card are embossed and then I used various dies to add dimension to my card. I hope you will play along with us! There are two prizes up for grabs this month!

Thank you for stopping by and for your kind and thoughtful comments over the past two days! Please hop along to LauraJane to see what she has created! I wish you a fun-filled and relaxing weekend!
