Hi everyone! Maureen here winding up the week with Day 10 of this month's Diva Dare.
Stars & Stripes May Diva Dare
This month's dare pays tribute to Diva Amber's (Stamping Scrapbooker) military service and Diva Laurie Willison's (Soapbox Creations) wonderful use of stripes on her cards. So we're daring you to create a card using stars and/or stripes.
While the title may conjure up visions of red, white and blue any stars
and stripes will do! If you're feeling pretty in pink, go for it! Just remember to use at least one Verve product on your creation!
If you want to get really daring, you can add the extra challenge of
making it a CAS card with stars and/or stripes, as that is Diva Laurie's
signature style. However, that is not a requirement, just an optional twist to the Dare if you're feeling daring!
I had plenty of inspiration this month...not only with our talented Divas we are highlighting, but with my son's graduation from Engineering next week :) His university colours are gold and navy (my alma mater!) so that took care of the colour scheme. Then came some stripes from Strong Anchor and a whole bunch of sparkling stars from the Starry Die and glitter cardstock. I couldn't resist adding a little extra note from Small Phrases to let Jake know I am extra proud of him. But the part I love best is the centre piece, Happy Graduation. I was so excited that it was part of the latest Release...perfect timing for me! Then last, but not least, I added some fun golden flag ends from the Flag It die set.
During this month's Diva Dare, there are 4 prizes up for grabs!
