Hi friends, it's almost time for another fabulous Verve release! Join the Divas today and tomorrow for new release spotlights on our blogs, and then join us in the Verve Forum tomorrow night, 9-11 pm EST, for the official reveals and fun chitchat. After the party (beginning at 11 pm), the sets will be available for purchase in the Verve store.
Today I'm featuring a new set called Wordy Birds. Isn't that a darling set name? Included are two birds and five wonderful all-occasion sentiments. I've created a collage-y little number using the two birds, one of the sentiments, and some bright, fun papers I found in a K&Co mat pad at Michael's. The design, a little different for me, is influenced by Zarah Peterson's gorgeous work - torn edges, distressing, a sprinkling of bling, cardboard and/or crimped Kraft, etc. I had a lot of fun with this one!
You can find lots more peeks of Wordy Birds, as well as peeks of another set (Amazing Wishes), and a new Plain Jane (Wild Flower), at the following Diva blogs:
