Hi guys!!!! And...
Welcome to our January Diva Inspirations Hop!
Today the Divas are dusting off some Verve favorites and putting on our monthly hop to inspire you with a fresh new spin on the stamps in our stash! So grab a drink and hop along as we share a little Verve with you! There's a great little prize involved, too! A random commenter on one of the hops will win a $30 gift certificate to VERVE, so be sure to leave a little love in the comment section as you hop about! You can find out all the prize details over on the Verve Blog today.
I am so sorry I'm cutting this post really close today... it's about 1.45am my time right now and I just realized it's the 5th of January aka blog hop time! Yeeeeah and my laptop is about to die on me lol talk about cutting it close...soo I apologize to you early morning hoppers but I'll be back as soon as I get some shut eye with the ingredient list and a little further info on this notebook I made for work.
In the meantime here's a little closer look:
I'm back...so here's a little more info on my little notebook project here. Sketchbooks are pretty pricey, especially ones with tan pages and I still had a stack of tan paper I had to buy for school so I thought...why not make my own sketchbook. And what better way to go with a tattoo art style for the cover?
I don't know about you but when I saw Julee's designs for Brighter Days I immediately thought 'tattoo art'!! You know ... the Ed Hardy kind? So I took the flowers, cut them out using the Scalloped Flowers Die Set and paired them up with the swirls from Blue Skies, layered those, added the butterfly and the sentiment from Borderline.
I used black emboss powder to make the line art really pop and colored it all with copic markers. Glitter was the final touch. :)
here's the master blog hop list:
