Zva Creative June DT Blog Hop!

Zva Creative and the Design Team welcome you to join us this month for a blog hop that we feel is always extra special!

As you know, Zva offers so many beautiful color groupings for pearls, flowers and crystals. We want to make sure that they shine bright for you, so each designer was asked to share a creation using a specific color or color combination on their blog hop project.

The Blog Hop begins at Kim Hughes' blog. 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 ...YAY! 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, June 27th and runs through midnight US Eastern Standard Time on Tuesday, June 28th and the 5 winners will be announced on Wednesday, June 29th 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...plus, 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.
The project I'd like to share with you today has all three of my little ones as the stars!! Just the Three of US hilights the bold, primary colours found in Bo Bunny's Liberty Collection, while keeping the theme of the layout more neutral (rather than patriotic).
I've always been one to layer my papers and embellishments and I've not stopped there! Why not layer your bling!? It easily adheres to fabric, papers, chipboard and yes, other bling! Layer away and create a beautiful customized flourish of your own!  I paired navy pearls with clear crystals.

Some more layered bling pictured above.  You can also alter your bling, using bits and pieces of one flourish all over your project rather than using the piece in its entirety on one specific area.  This is especially useful when you are trying to embellish a smaller space (like on a card for example).

The blog hop begins HERE
Your next stop is at Maiko Miwa's Blog HERE
