Welcome back to Day 5 of our Anni-VERVE-sary Spotlight Hops! It's an exciting day as there's new Verve in the store this morning! 4 beautiful new sets and 2 coordinating die sets just released and they're all available to order right now. To celebrate this special 10th Anni-VERVE-sary release, we're putting on another blog hop, with a pretty cool prize!
Today's featured focus is designer's choice, so you might just sneak a peek at a whole bunch of must-haves, especially since we've got a full line-up of Divas, guests and Alumni today!
I am sharing another card made using the Bloom Brighter and coordinating Blooming Die from Verve. I can't stop white heat embossing these flowers and using watercolors! After heat embossing on some Bristol Smooth watercolor paper, I smooshed some Distress Oxide inks in Spiced Marmalade, Abandoned Coral, Wilted Violet, and Peeled Paint onto an acetate sheet. Using my waterbrush, I simply colored in the blooms and leaves, letting them dry in between applications. I love the opaque look and shading these inks give when watercolored! I added my blooms to a trimmed white panel that had some Nuvo Embellishment Paste applied to the background for a shimmery look (applied with my finger). My sentiment was stamped in Versafine Onyx Black and clear heat embossed.
Want to win some shiny new Verve? Today's prize is a BIG one. We'll be picking a random commenter on one of the hop spots below to win our ENTIRE new release!

Your water coloring of the flowers (on my wish list) really makes all the other elements of the card come together for an "easy on the eye" card--one you want to display and enjoy for days.
