Welcome to the Anni-VERVE-sary Blog Hop! Verve turns three today and we’re celebrating with a hop, hop, hop! If you've already been hopping along, you arrived here from Sarah's blog. If not, head on over to Julee's Blog (owner of Verve), for all the info on how to win prizes (after all, what's a party without presents?), and to start hopping from the beginning. If there's a hiccup along the hop, you can always head to the Master Hop List to get the full list of links.
So here's my creation for the blog hop!
I used this week's Mojo Monday sketch as a starting point and just went from there. The top panel was made using my Martha Stewart score board and scoring on the diagonal at 1" intervals. Then I sponged it with Tea Dye distress ink and added pearls at each inersection. The Cup of Life image was stamped onto cream cross stitch using Memento Rich Cocoa. Then I overstamped "Tea" on the right hand side using Fresh Snow ink. My flower was also made using cross stitch fabric and my Prickley Pear hibiscus die.
