Okay, I made this card for the Viva la Verve challenges that I just found out about. Not sure I can do all four for August, but here is VLVAug01, at least. Thanks, Amber for a great challenge.
We were to case a Verve Diva. The Twist...if the card uses dp, we could not and vice versa. Well, I chose Laurie's(lauraly) card here.
Laurie uses dp so I set out to stamp my OWN dp using the few Verve sets I own to mimic Laurie's look. I used Kindred Spirits for the top background portion and I used Bountiful Backgrounds the vertical lines one double stamped for the vertical line look of paper that Laurie chose.
I used the To Risk Plain Jane as well as the new Enjoy set. I used the image as a butterfly. I did add a paper flower because I do not own the Verve flower Laurie used which is why I topped it with a butterfly image.
I did opt for gold pearls and no charm just because I did not want to case exactly. Laurie actually used a sewing maching for her card..wow, I faux stitched mine.
