Our August challenge is Celebrate!
It's our Anni-VERVE-sary - so we're celebrating! Create a card to celebrate something or someone special, an anniversary, birthday, new baby, any occasion filled with joy! Use the inspiration or go off on your own tangent, just share a celebration with us! There is a SALE going on too......check out details at the end of my post!
I loved this challenge......I went with some of the colors, banners, and circular elements! I started with adding the look of texture behind my focal point with the use of a STENCIL. This could be anything in your stash. I've used a diagonal stripe stencil and sponged on a light gray pigment ink. I made sure to leave areas "unsponged" to achieve this look.
I used one of my FAVORITE Verve stamp sets.......Poppy Birthday. I went with red, deep orange, and pink poppies and die cut them using the matching Build a Poppy Die Set. After arranging my poppies, I stamped my sentiment (from Poppy Birthday). As a last detail, I diecut a Pennant Trim Die in pink and added just a snippet in the corner and embellished with clear sequins (from Pretty Pink Posh).
