Zva Creative June DT Blog Hop!

 

 

Hello friends! Zva Creative and our talented Design Team welcome you to our June blog hop!  We are very excited to kick off another blog hop and to have you join us today.

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 have so many favorite pieces of bling I could not mention them all, but one of my favorite things about all the clear ones is that they can be colored to match anything. Here I used CRW-07CA-101(small in corner) love how these little pieces just adds the perfect touch and look, and I used CR-07CA-101. I have used Copic markers (G21 andYG61) to color them green.
