Verve Project Parade time!

Hi everyone!  As some of you may know, over on the Verve blog it's Project Parade time!  This month's theme is Something Old, Something New-which is to use one of the older Verve sets and one from the new release.  I actually need some wedding cards, so this was a perfectly named challenge for me!  I love the idea of the Divas showcasing some of the older sets this month -like most of you, my older sets are sadly neglected.

My card today uses the set, Love's Flower (released in Jan 2010) and the current release set, Love Story.  I stamped the branch blossom image from Love's Flower with Crumb Cake ink down the left side of the card front and lightly colored them in with the R11 ( Pale Cherry Pink) copic marker.  I then stamped the tiny flower with Pink Pirouette ink and added a touch of white gel pen to the centers.  The flourish heart is also stamped with Crumb Cake ink and colored in with copic markers.

The pearl flourish is from Zva Creative.  I used my favorite trick and cut off the last pearl of the flourish and replaced it with a colored one! 

Do you want to play along?  Here's all the details about how you can AND win some VERVE:

1. Play along with us and link up your new SOMETHING OLD, SOMETHING NEW creation (posted August 25th or later) to the linky widget on the DAY 1 PARADE POST before midnight on Wednesday, September 15th. One lucky stamper will win a $30.00 gift certificate to the Verve Store.

2. For another chance to win, be sure to give the Divas a little shout-out in the comments section as we parade our SOMETHING OLD, SOMETHING NEW creations -on the Verve Blog. One lucky commenter during the course of the parade will win the Verve stamp set of their choosing!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
