We got a sneak peak and I know you're gonna love what Verve has in store for you!!! Ok but first remember you can win a little prize today just by leaving a comment on each blog hop spot. Check out all the details and prize info over at the Verve Blog.

A little about my card today...a dear sister in my church passed away so I was yet again in need of a sympathy card. I wanted to do something a little bit different so I did my version of a shadowbox card with Julee's beautiful flowers from the Surely Goodness set and the corresponding die set.
For the sentiment I used the Flag from the Flag it Die set and paired it with the sentiment from the Borderline set. Then I got a little crafty with it and used a combination of white and grey ink for the flowers, sprinkled that with iridescent embossing powder and applied heat.

Here's another closer look:
