Hi everyone! Today, Verve is celebrating its second anniversary with a special blog hop. If you came here from Janelle at Rain Puddles Design, then you already know all about it. If you just happened to stop by, you can find the beginning over at the Verve blog. To make this party a real shindig, there’s a mystery jackpot hidden at one of the stops along the hop. One lucky commenter on that blog will win Verve’s entire August release! But of course, it wouldn’t be a mystery if you knew which blog, would it? So if you’re feeling the love, give a little shout out to the bloggers in the hop and you just might have a reason to jump for joy!
For my project, I'm excited to give you a super early peek at one of the August Plain Janes (you know how much I love these little gems!), called To Risk. Love this quote! I've created a cozy little home for it using a new favorite, Basic Grey Lemonade dp, and many of my old favorites - stitching, buttons, ribbon, and the Blossom Nestabilities.
Hope you're enjoying the hop so far! Your next stop is Teresa at Enjoy the VA Sunshine. She works magic with Verve, so I'm sure you're in for a treat!
Today's card also doubles as my sample for Jen's Sketch For You To Try. Jen has the sketch posted on her blog, i{heart}2stamp, along with her sample and a sample from our brand-new August sketch girl - woohoo! Be sure to give her a warm welcome! Visit the rest of the SFYTT girls for more ideas to jumpstart your creativity: Amy Rohl, Carole Burrage, Kelly Lunceford, and Susan Liles. We love to see you play along! Link your project to Jen's post and/or use keyword SFYTT if you upload to Splitcoast.
I did just a little bit of decorating on the inside:
Have a wonderful weekend!

Paper: Basic Grey Lemonade dp, Stampin' Up Crushed Curry, Prismatics Medium Island Mist

I want to say that your attention to detail makes this card amazing. The string and sewing look effortless but I suspect a LOT of hard work went into making it look so fantastic.
Your cards are always so rich in layers and embellishments. Not to mention the stitching!

Very lovely card--love the verse too!
The stitching is fabulous, the stamp is delightful, and the colors are delicious! What a great card! TFS!
gotta give a shout out to the crushed curry! Love the card and the image!
Verve Stamps are fairly new to me and I love them. I'm always excited to see something new created with them.
What a pretty card!
Thanks for sharing.
This is gorgeous. I am going to have to try stitching on one of my cards. I really love how it looks.
I love this "To Risk" stamp.
I really like the whole 'decorating the inside' idea. I've only ever gone as far as putting a lighter mat in a dark card and maybe adding a stamped image. But adding dimension looks sooo good. I might have to do that for the b-day card I need for tomorrow. (If I ever get of the computer in time to make it)
Absolutely gorgeous, Amy!!!
What a stunning card! Love the indide too! Thank you so much for the blog hop!
Love it. Beautifully done inside and out.
such a beautiful card - love the detailing!
Great card - love the Anais Nin sentiment - elegant card.
Beautiful card inside and out! Great color combo too.
As always-stunning-amazing detail.
So very very pretty!
Gorgeous! I love Verve Plain Janes!

Oh, Amy, this card is just gorgeous. Every time I see one of your cards I just sigh - they all just have this "welcome home" message to my creative soul. Love everything you do!
Beautiful!

As usual, Amy, a remarkable job!
Stunning and gorgeous Amy! Love the details, stitching, ribbon, twine and how it flows and the teeny butterfly and you did the inside of the card too! So beautiful.
