We have a NEW Zva Creative Design Team and we welcome you to join us this month for a blog hop that we feel is extra special!
There is now an added twist to our blog hops; as you know, Zva offers so many beautiful color groupings for pearls, flowers and crystals. We want to make sure that they shine brightly for you, so each designer was asked to share a creation using a specific color or color combination on their blog hop project. We anticipate that our hops will become even more breathtaking with such stunning products to showcase by concentrating on color.
The Blog Hop begins at Kim Hughes' blog, Paper Hugs. She will have the complete list of all blogs that are participating in case there is a glitch along the way. If you would like to play along, 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. Hidden on FIVE of the blogs is a Zva Creative prize package! Winners will be randomly chosen after the hop is over, so it's important to leave a comment on as many blogs as you can along the way.
The Blog Hop starts today, November 29, and runs through midnight US Eastern Standard Time on Tuesday, November 30; and the five winners will be announced on Wednesday, December 1, on each of the five winning blogs. The full list will be found on Kim Hughes‘s blog as well (linked above). We will do our best to notify each winner, but it's best if you can pop in to all of the blogs once again on Wednesday-- you never know what kind of inspirational creation that you may find there. All you need to do is leave a comment on this Zva Blog Hop post. You do not need to leave a comment on each and every designer's blog post to qualify. The more times you leave a comment along the blog hop path though, the more chances you will have to be one of the lucky winners.
My assigned color was pink and/or rosy pink. Hmmm. . . okay, I tweaked it just a little! I started with the rosy pink rhinestones shown below and used a Copic V06 marker o add just a hint of violet to make my rhinestones coordinate better with the paper that I had chosen (from the Cosmo Cricket Mitten Weather Mini Deck).
If you look at the two rhinestones on the left end of the strip, you can see that I modified the color slightly. I used a Zva Creative CRW-03-109 as my base rhinestone and added the Copic V06 on top of that.
I used a very limited range of marker colors to color my focal image, stamps from Papertrey Ink's Friendship Jar and Friendship Jar: Holiday Fillers sets, along with a frame from the Friendship Jar Fall Fillers set. Dies that I used were PTI's Jar Toppers and Jar Label dies.
Besides the rhinestone bling, I also used a Quickie Glue Pen and some Prisma Glitter to add sparkle on the stars and smaller parts of the snowflakes. Ribbon is some off-white seam binding dyed with V12 Copic Various Inks refill. I love my bling, and as a bonus, it's lightweight and not so thick to mail!
