"Shape Up", November Diva Dare
Hey there Verve fans!! Jen here with my take on this month's Diva Dare entitled "Shape Up".
What we're daring you to do this month is to create a card or project including a common shape. For example: hexagons, chevrons, arrows, triangles, hearts, stars etc. Lots of fun ways you can go with this dare and I can't wait to see what you create!
Here's my card:
I had so many ideas for how to take on this challenge it was a bit hard for me to pare it all down into one card, lol. I had arrows and stars and hexagons die cut but had to hold myself back a little bit, lol.
To start off I knew I wanted to use Chevron Love and this gorgeous Chalkboard paper pad from We R Memory Keepers which is hands down my current favorite paper, though I've been hoarding it a bit so I don't use it up too fast. To go with Chevron Love I pulled out my Sweet Scallop Die, Banner Bundle Dies, Pennant Trim die and the smaller of the two Wavy Heart Dies. From there I honestly just let it all flow together. I started die cutting like crazy until I had all the pieces I wanted. I distressed it all up and added a bit of embossing to the tag and to the edges of the kraft heart and kraft background. The layout just kind of did it's own thing and I really didn't have a plan or a sketch which is odd for me. To finish up I added a bit of ribbon and a twine bow and button to the tag and it was done.
So there you have it! We'd love for you to join us this month for the Dare! It's such a fun one with so many possibilities! Here's how you can play along:
