Welcome to the August Diva Dare! For those of you that are new to this challenge, here is how it works...following each release, we will post a theme that 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's theme is Sending Some Sunshine! If you all are anything like me, you have tons of cards sitting at home all piled up! I thought it would be fun to make an uplifting & cheerful card and actually send it to someone! There's nothing like opening your mailbox and seeing a handmade card...especially with some of Verve's encouraging sentiments on it! :-)
So, we DARE you to make an uplifting and encouraging card AND send it to someone in need of a little pick-me-up!
Here is how I answered the dare... I knew I wanted my card to be encouraging, and I do love me some vintage colors...so I combined them together! I used the Curvy Bookplate and hope stamps from the Tag Time set, the Keep Fighting sentiment from the Words of Wisdom set, and the matching Curvy Bookplate die. To carry out the vintage theme, I distressed all of the edges!
