Hello Verve Fans! It's Charmaine and I am excited to be bringing you Day 2 of this month's Diva Dare, "Just Give Me Stamps, Buttons and Bling"!! This month, "we dare" you to create a card combining Diva Laurie (Just Give Me Stamps) and Diva Maureen's (Buttons and Bling) styles. For insight into their styles and inspiration galore, you can find Diva Laurie's Verve creations here and Diva Maureen's Verve creations here.
When I was creating my card, one thing that made me think of Laurie (besides lots of layers) is how she embosses a line art image in white on patterned paper. I love it when she does that! :) The image always looks great and there's no need to color! I did that on my card with the flower image from Surely Goodness. When I think of Maureen, I think of these big fluffy bows and the bling!! I used some of the Truly, Madly, Deeply Seam Binding for my bow.
The papers are from the For the Record 2 Tailored Collection from Echo Park. I also used the Flag It Die Set for the little red tab and the sentiment tab. The flower pieces were die cut using the Goodness Flowers Die Set.
To get your wheels a turnin', the Divas will be posting their Diva Dare creations using our newly released products right here, each weekday, for the next two weeks. Winners will be announced on Thursday, March 28th.
