Verve Spotlight: Chicks Rule


Tonight's the night. New Verve. 9 pm EST. Right HERE. Be there or be square {wink}.

Until then, feast your eyes on yet another fantastic New Release Spotlight Bog Hop. Our last featured set is Chicks Rule, and when I said a few days ago that this has got to be the most fun and playful Verve release to date, I wasn't kidding. Just wait until you see this set in full!

For my card, I've used one of the chick images, colored her pink (why not, right?) and outfitted her with a tiara and magic wand. The sentiment is stamped on a Charming Oval die-cut, which I've outlined with a doodle frame. The papers are from the Emma's Shoppe paper collection by Crate Paper (love!).

The layout is from the Week Five Viva La Verve sketch challenge, hosted by Sankari. Play along each week for your chance to win an upcoming Verve release in full!


Here's the sketch:
