We are well on our way into March's Diva Dare today combining Laurie's blog name at Just Give Me Stamps and Maureen's from Buttons and Bling and I'm gonna double dare you to take the challenge! It's so much fun to catch onto a style from these two Diva's and create. You just have to try it!
So here is how I took the dare…
Laurie and Maureen's blog names plus their elegant use of posies, rounded corners and sewing are what inspired me for the dare. Here are the Verve-y highlights.
Starting with the Viva La Verve Challenge week 2 sketch from Diva Jen S., I used the new release stamp set So Fluttery and combined two of the text stamps for my sentiment. I added a side panel using a Flag It Die and attached it with some stitches. A circle trim die, one of three dies in the Scalloped Trim Trio Die Set, is attached with a quick straight stitch. My flower is handmade using the Scalloped Flowers Die Set where I cut both out, snipped in-between petals, wet the paper with water and scrunched it up, then gently opened and a quick dry with the heat tool. The bow is a combination of Espresso seam binding ribbon from the Signature Ribbon Selection, black and white twine and a blue button. And then it's bling time! I added black pearls around the flower and bow. That's all! Now...
