It's Day Two of Verve's New Release Spotlights, and today the Verve Divas are featuring a set called Words Cannot Express. With its collection of amazing and heartfelt gratitude sentiments, Words Cannot Express is the stamp set you've always wanted for those occasions when a mere "thank you" is somehow insufficient.
For my spotlight card, I've combined one of the sentiments from Words Cannot Express with the leafy branch from yesterday's New Mercies. Even though we stampers are getting totally spoiled with dies that do so much of our cutting, I still love to hand-cut with my scissors and my hobby blade, which is what I did for the branch cluster.
Do check out the awesomeness the Divas have prepared for today. You'll find the full hop list posted below. And remember, there's a big PRIZE hidden on one of today's hop spots! Just leave a little shout-out in the comments as you hop about for a chance to win the entire July release! You can check out the Verve Blog for all the prize details and deadlines.

Sooooooo PRETTY, Amy! The colors add such a delicate touch!
Beautiful card! You do have skill with a blade, Amy, but I will stick with dies that do the work for me because I am no good at cutting free hand:) So glad for those dies!!
Love all your embellishments!! Those flowers are gorgeous, as well as the bow (my favorite color). And I see a reappearance of the leaves from the New Mercies set...loving them!!
Your card is so delicate and beautiful. The flowers are so outstanding.
Peach and green - a lovely color combination! I love that leaf spring from yesterday; these 2 sets compliment each other so nicely!

I hope there's a die for that crazy intricate branch... no way did she hand cut that and then what to do I read... you are CRAZY girl!! This looks absolutely amazing. I love every single detail of this. And that ribbon... seriously wow! Did you dye it yourself or pick it up somewhere? It's gorgeous!!

Hi Amy! I love this and am SO impressed about your cutting and blade work. You are SO right that the die cut forms are beginning to spoil the art. (my feeling: the spoiling part) Like when Drafting went computerized. The flowers on your card are deliciously gorgeous and the colors so beautifully girli. Really a stunner Amy! Thanks for cheering me up (my dogs have been lost for 2 days and this is my first looksi at blogs...I am extra happy I saw yours!!! xox Samara)
As always....beautiful in every way!
I love love love this card. The colors are so perfect together. My favorite card so far. I love the flowers. Pretty
Very feminine and pretty. Lovely colour combination.
Love the card.

Had to come back and check this beauty out after seeing it at the release and shorting out my keyboard form all the drool on it LOL! Simply stunning card! Love the colour combo and how you cut that branch/leaf out. Gorgeous flowers and wonderful Amy touches. Happy sigh....must go back and stare at it a bit longer...aaaaahhhhhhh.
Woo-hoo...I'm the 100th comment...better make it a good one! Well, I've used amazing, incredible, gorgeous, beautiful, stunning, etc, etc...on your blog before, so I think I may be reduced to making up words at this point.
Get out! You cut that branch out by hand? That's incre-amaz-fanta-stun-gorg-iful! Hmm,...I think I'll stick to Webster's. You probably get my meaning though...I love it!
I love this card. I just HAD to pin it on my Pinterest page.
Wonderful! I like it so much! Especially colores!!!
