I have a fun tip for you: don't be afraid to cut your rhinestone swirls!! I cut them, rearrange them and save every little rhinestone! Here is a pic of a brand new rhinestone pack and next to it is my scraps. For the teapot steam, I searched my swirl scraps until I found the right piece! Stay tuned everyone! This is Verve Release Week and my blog will be hoppin' with Verve-y goodness! There are lots of challenges AND ways to win some Verve Stamps. You can find more details on the Verve Blog and on SCS at this thread.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

What a fabulous card, Michelle!! Love the colours and the bling for the steam on the tea pot - heck I think it could be a fancy coffee pot, don't you LOL!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing your creations at the next release :D NOT a good week for me as the school Spring Carnival is this Friday and I have a ton to do for it. may be a few late nights trying to get a few of the challenges done because I can't resist the chance at some new Verve :D
What a stunning creation Michelle. Could do with a cuppa myself right now.

ReplyDeleteLove the card, but I love your challenge mishap more...TOO FUNNY!!!
ReplyDeletelove these colours, Michelle!! I think as a Verve Diva you should have special permission to think outside the box and say it's for those who don't drink coffee ;) Hey, I have a WHOLE pack of Soft Sky and would be willing to share half with you :) Let me know if you can't find it and HAVE to have some :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a darling card, Michelle! LOVE your colors and using bling for the steam is such a great idea! Yes, I've cut my rhinestone flourishes apart before and have kept the pieces...now I need this Verve set so I can use them up! :-)
ReplyDeleteVery pretty, I like the soft colors.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty and I'm loving the colors. Coffee, tea, its all hot caffeine so I say you're in:) Now if you had stamped say a Big Gulp, that might be pushin' it ;)
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet card. I love the great job you did putting these colors together.
ReplyDeleteWell it's too bad that you used the wrong set, but I love what you've created!!! Gorgeous use of colour, fun image (love the steam!) and the ribbon/flower treatment is fabulous!! Love the tip about cutting the flourishes too - awesome idea!!! :)
