Viva la Verve and other Verve challenges

Good afternoon my crafty friends! Hope y'all weeks are

off to a great start! I wanted to share a few cards I made over

the weekend. For the first card I used the Viva la Verve

April week 1 sketch. I also used the Verve Diva Inspirations Hop

photo challenge. This challenge was "Chevron Chic" I really

decided to challenge myself and use as much as I could

from the photo. 

For this card I used chevron paper from Close To My Heart's

Paper Fundamentals and wood grain paper from Fancy Pants.

The leaf stamp and die are from Verve. The sentiment

is CTMH Joyful Birthday. I used exclusive inks in Crystal Blue,

and Champagne. I sponged the doily with the Crystal Blue.

The flower is from Michaels and the ribbon is black seam binding.

My second card is for the Verve April Diva Dare. This month's

dare is titled "Little Things" so it has to be baby or

child themed, also using a Verve product. I used paper from

Michael's, button and twine from my stash. The lace

ribbon is from HobLob. I also used Nestabilities lacey circle as

well as large and small circles. The sentiment and banner dies are Verve.

The ink is Stazon Timber.
