Hi everyone! It's Chaitali here with my very first Diva Dare ever! In honor of the newest release, this month's Dare is entitled "Petals and Wings".
Deadline to link your cards is 8PM Mountain on Wednesday, May 21st. Entries must be posted 5/2 or later, include at least one Verve product, both a flower and a butterfly, and be linked up to the linky widget by 8pm Mountain on 5/21/14.
What we're daring you to do this month is create a card with both a flower and a butterfly on it.
Now I had a situation here. I don't have a single Verve butterfly stamp! Not one! How did that happen?! Don't ask me! But I assure you the situation is under control and some butterfly stamps have been ordered!
For this card I pulled out On Occasion (can you tell its my favorite?!) and had to improvise a bit for the butterfly! Here is my card...
I started with white cardstock and sprayed it with water generously then went over it with a brush to be sure it was evenly wet. Then I smooshed down my distress inkpads on it, Frayed Burlap on the left and Stormy Sky on the right. Since the paper was very wet, it spread nicely. I blended in the middle with a brush. Dried it all off with a heat gun because I'm too impatient :)
The frame, sentiment and flower are all from the On Occasion set. The flower is stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black and colored with Copics then cut out. Covered it with some diamond stickles in the middle.
The butterfly I cut on my Silhouette Cameo on white cardstock. Then colored it with copics and outlined it with a black sharpie. The swirly pattern is from On Occasion. Some diamond stickles to add glitter and you have a butterfly ready!
Hope you enjoyed the card! Have a great day and do join us in the Diva Dare!
