Zva Creative February DT Blog Hop!

Zva Creative and our talented Design Team welcome you to join us for our February Blog Hop! We are happy to have you join us today today!
The Blog Hop begins at Zva Creative's NEW blog! Be sure head on over if you'd like to start from the top of the hop. 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.  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.  If you like what you see you can find a list of stores and online retailers that sell Zva HERE.
The colours I was to focus on this month was yellow and brown.  I love working with these warm tones and found the perfect match for ZVA's beautiful flowers, leaves and flourishes in Bo Bunny's new Weekend Market Collection.

I love how these beautiful crystal flourishes combine both the yellow and brown tones.
I felt that the flowers needed leaves but once added, the green seemed to stand out a little more than I wanted.  I could either have painted the leaves with a whitewash to tone them down a little or opt to bring in some more green throughout my layout.

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!

Hidden on FIVE of the designer's 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, February 27th and runs through 11:59pm US Eastern Standard Time on Tuesday, February 28th.

The 5 winners will be announced on Wednesday, February 1st on each of the five winning blogs. The full list of where our winners will be posted will be found on Zva's blog as well. 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 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.

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 Facebook or "tweeted" about our hop (link to any of the blog hop posts)
* Comment to let us know that you asked your local store to carry Zva creative products.  If they already do, that's fantastic, maybe you can suggest other products that they don't carry.
* Comment to let us know that your "liked" our new page on Facebook or that you have started following Zva on Twitter.

The blog hop begins here at Zva Creative's NEW blog. Your next stop is at the beautiful blog of the very talented Windy Robinson!
Thank you for joining us!

P.S. Mark your calendar to join us again on March 26th for our next Zva blog hop!

Wow these colors are wonderful. The embellishments go beautifully with the Bo Bunny paper. I don't actually mind the green leaves, I think it gives a nice balance and contrast with all of the browns and yellows.

Wow, I would've had a hard time with that color scheme. You do it so wonderfully, though! Great job! I think the green on the leaves are a great contrast, but they definitely don't steal the show!
