Hi Verve fans!! Jen here bringing you Day 8 of this month's Diva Dare entitled "Tattered Pages".
This month's dare pays tribute to Julee (Poetic Artistry), owner and creator of Verve Stamps and Diva Teresa (Paperie Blooms). Julee has created countless, uplifting sentiments which have become one of Verve's trademarks, and Teresa knows how to rock distressing and "shabbiness" on her cards. So what we're daring you to create this month is a card using an uplifting sentiment and some distressing and/or shabby element to it. Kind of like an encouraging card you have received which you have read so many times the edges are a bit tattered. Just remember to use at least one Verve product on your creation!

To highlight Julee's uplifting sentiments I chose New Mercies. I love this stamp set and was in need of a sympathy card for a close friend and I new this set would be perfect to lift her spirits.
To created the scalloped edge I used the Flourish Trim Die. The sentiment is die cut with the Classy Label Die.
My card layout is based on Viva La Verve July Week 4 sketch!
