Hello Verve Fans! It's Charmaine and today I'm bringing you Day 3 of this month's Diva Dare!! This month we are challenging you to "Bright Blooms and Butterflies", a combination of mine (Oodabug Alley) and Diva Marisa's (Rosemary Reflections) signature styles. I often use wonderful, bright colors on my cards and Marisa uses lots of flowers and butterflies. So this month, we dare you to create a colorful card using either a flower or butterfly image, (or if you'd prefer... a fun die shape) as the focal element.
It's funny. . .when I sat down to make my card, I felt so much pressure! LOL The flower and butterfly part of the challenge was easy, but when I thought "make a card in my signature style", for some reason the pressure was on. I never really thought I had a "signature style". When I create, I don't usually think "hmmm. . .where's my bright papers?" So I thought about it and yes I do LOVE color! I love bright, fun colors. . .I love soft, sweet colors and I really love pops of color. I decided to go with a pop of color for my card. I used the So Fluttery set for my card along with a flower from the Surely Goodness set. The butterflies were die cut using the Flutterby Die and then stamped with the Flannel Kaleidacolor pad. When I was thinking about "my signature style", I felt like I stamped and embossed in white on black cardstock a lot, so I incorporated that into this card. The flowers were stamped in Versamark and embossed in black.
So, that's my take on the April Diva Dare! Hope you'll play along because we LOVE to see what you create!
