March Diva Dare - Day 9

Welcome to Day 9 of the March Diva Dare!! Here's how our Diva Dare works... following each release, we post a theme we dare you with, and you'll have two weeks to complete the challenge. During those two weeks, the release team will post their creations and tell you how they answered the dare!

This month we dare you to make a card, project, layout, or whatever fits your stamping style using this month's theme -Color Me Spring! Whether you are shoveling snow off of your sidewalks and only dreaming of warmer weather or you are already enjoying the first blooms of the season, this challenge is sure to put a spring in your step! How you interpret the challenge is up to you! Stay tuned to learn how you could win some shiny new Verve!!

Here's how I answered the dare:


When I think of Spring, I think of new life, fresh beginnings, a renewed sense of hope and optimism. Verve's new Hope Perches Plain Jane is perfect for this month's Diva Dare. I used some lovely, flowery Pink Paislee Butterfly Garden papers for a fresh, Spring feel, then made a focal point using a Prima paper bird, a paper rosette, and a Spellbinders new fancy tag die-cut.




And a few close-ups:



 I added chunky glitter to the edges of the rosette:
