Today, it's all about Kind Words and Happy Hello. Kind Words is one of those sets that combines the best of what Verve is all about -- a beautiful floral image, a motivational quote, and a mix of additional all-purpose sentiments, all done in Julee's signature modern elegance. For this first card, I just had to go with the Mother Teresa quote - how beautiful!
The next set, Happy Hello, is just pure fun! The sentiments are darling, and there are some really cool graphical elements that just beg to be played with.
Here I've used a trio of open squares to make a checklist (I spread them out a little bit by stamping just one square three different times. "A Cheerful," "A Happy," and "A Warm" are separate stamps. The frame around the "hello" sentiment and the "hello" sentiment are also part of the set. The layout is one of the five Anni-VERVE-sary sketch challenge sketches:
There's still plenty of time to complete these challenges for lots of chances to win! Details are HERE.
