...{Sylvias Stamping Place}...: Zva Creative September DT Blog Hop

Hi everyone and happy Monday :)

I am super thrilled and excited to be part of the Zva Creative September DT blog hop! :)

Today's Blog Hop begins at Zva Creative's Facebook page! Be sure head on over to check it out!

Here's a list of participants (in case there is a glitch along the way):

Carole Maurin
Nicole Martel
Fabi Omerod

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 was able to technically keep my wedding card really simple, because the gorgeous Zva Creative embellishments did the "job" for me :)

I distressed the patterned background paper using a Tim Holtz paper distresser and some Distress inks in Walnut Stain.

I then added my beloved faux stitching using a paper piercing tool and a white gel pen.

Besides adhering the awesome white pearl swirl and adding some ice blue flower accents here and there, the only thing I had to do was stamping the sentiment and wrapping around an off white seam binding that I also embellished with one of the ice blue flower accents.

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, September 30th and runs through midnight US Eastern Standard Time on Tuesday, October 1^st.

***Prizes***

Hidden on FIVE of the designer's blogs 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 this Blog Hop 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, October 2nd on Zva Creative's Facebook page!

We also thought it would be more fun to add even more chances to win our blog hop prize!

To increase your chances of winning:

- Comment to let us know that you posted on your Facebook page about our hop (link to any of the blog hop posts)
- Comment to let us know that you "tweeted" about our hop (link to any of the blog hop posts)
