I chose to focus today on one of the many bold, graphic flower styles in today's featured set, Sunny Days. I stamped onto different patterns from Prima's Reflections paper collection, then trimmed and layered for dimension.
See those leafy sprigs? They come in two sizes (both images are in Sunny Days) and coordinating dies are available, making it a breeze to get the trimmed out look.
I used a few other Verve dies here, too ...
... the blue text shape in the background is the Classy Label Die, and the butterfly was done with Flutterby.
Enjoy today's spotlights! It's going to be a fantastic release week! I can't begin to convey how excited I am!! See you tomorrow!
