May Verve Diva Inspirations Hop

Welcome to Verve's May Diva Inspirations Hop. It's the 5th of the month and that means it's hopping time! This month we've got a fabulous challenge that's sure to take you on a sentimental journey! So in addition to a comment prize hidden along the hop, you can play along with the challenge and link up your creation for a chance to win another prize!

Our April challenge is Font Focus:



Fancy fonts are all the rage! Let your inner wordsmith shine and make a gorgeous sentiment (or two or three!) the focus of your card. Whether you draw inspiration from the graphic or take some poetic license of your own, just flash us some fonts!

In my opinion, Verve has some of the prettiest fonts ever!  I couldn't decide which sentiment to choose, but one thing is sure, whichever you use it can easily take center stage.  I finally settled on a sentiment from the Wonderfully Made stamp set.

 
I stamped it on the largest banner from the Banner Bundle Die Set and accented it with the leafy sprig from Bloom & Grow.  I added some other little complimentary accents, but let my pretty sentiment be the center of attention. 

Will you play along with us?  Need a little inspiration? Check out the blogs linked below to see what the other Divas did with the challenge! It's sure to be a treat, and speaking of treats, we've got a prize for one lucky commenter along the hop!
