Hello friends! Zva Creative and our talented Design Team
welcome you to our April blog hop! We
are very excited to kick off another blog hop and to have you join us today. We
hope you are inspired all of the beautiful work that we are about to share!
The hop begins at Zva Creative’s blog! Be sure head on over to
check it out! You will also find a complete list of all
the participating blogs there (in case there is a glitch along the way).
As you know, Zva offers many beautiful color groupings
for pearls, flowers and crystals. If you like what you see along the hop
you can find a list of stores and online retailers that sell Zva HERE.
I wanted to create a mixed media/shabby card today, to show off this gorgeous pink flourish Here's how I created this.
1. Begin with a 3.5" x 8" card base ( WorldWin ColorMates Beach)
2. Cut the next panel 3.25" x 7.75" ( WorldWin ColorMates White). Distress the edges by first using a distressing tool and then dipping the edges in a diluted mist spray.
3. Cut a piece of WorldWin Translucent Vellum and a piece of the Beach cardstock 3" x 7.5". Tape a Dreamweaver brass stencil over the vellum and apply modeling paste and allow to dry.
4. Mount the vellum to the Bear cardstock by running the cardstock through the Xyron 5" Creative Station and applying the vellum to it (this is a great method to avoid seeing any adhesive on the vellum.
5. Adhere crochet ribbon around the center of the panel.
6. Lightly mist the entire card with a 2-toned pink mist.
7. Apply the large Zva Creative Flourish ( CRB-06CA-106) to the card.
8. Die cut multiple layers of the Tattered Blossoms (Heartfelt Creations) using WorldWin's Petallics ( Coral Pink). Shape the flower and attach to the card. Add punched leaves to finish.
If you would like to play along with our design team,
just follow along the blog path. I am linking to one of the Zva designers
and that designer is linking to the next and so on. Be prepared to be inspired
along the way!
The Blog Hop starts today, April 28th and runs through
midnight US Eastern Standard Time on Tuesday, April 29th.
***Prizes***
Hidden on FIVE of the blogs along the way is a Zva
Creative prize package! Winners will be randomly chosen after the hop is over.
All you need to do is leave a comment on one post... you do not need to leave a
comment on each and every designer's blog post to qualify. However, the
more times you comment along the blog hop path, the more chances you will have
to win.
The 5 winners will be announced on Wednesday, April 30th
on Zva Creative’s Facebook

best to notify each winner, but it's best if you can pop in to Zva’s page on
Wednesday to see if you are a winner!
