VLV2014 wk1 & Diva Dare - Twitterpated with Shimmer & Shine

Finally got some time to work on some cards and figured to start with Viva La Verve sketch challenge which has a new blog along with a new look. Here I also incorporated hearts for the Diva Dare challenge for the month of January 2014 "Smitten" and than saw their new challenge of Shimmer and Shine and thought to add some sparkles to this card.

Here is my card:

I've had this set for quite awhile called Twitterpated and when I saw Sarah's card over at her blog Thinking Stamps using this set, I couldn't resist but to use it myself and try more coloring again using my Spectrum Noir markers and than paper pieced her dress with SU bright color pack.

I've had this paper for a long time now called More Amore (SU) and finally opened it up and had some fun playing with the patterned papers along with silver glitter paper along with another Verve stamp set called: Borderline and some punches.

VLV Oct Week4 - Borderline

I love banners and it was a great opportunity to play with some for the VLV Oct week 4 sketch designed by Christyne Kane.  

Here is my take on the sketch and card:

Played around with some new DSP papers from the Subtles collection and is one of my favorite colors, Pool Party along with a new in colors (Baked Brown Sugar) cardstock by SU. They go so well together. Better in person compared to the photo, but I'm sure that's in all cases.

 

It's a fairly straight forward card without a need for any explanation, but hard for me to not say anything so......here we go: 

Can you guess the stamp set? I'm sure you can, but just in case, It's by Verve and called Borderline which was on my wish list for the longest time and got a few months ago or so. I thought it would be perfect for this card along with the matching die, Mini Classy Label.

 

For the ink, I used Early Espresso (SU) and I got the little butterflies from the set: Twitterpated along with the matching die, All Aflutter. Whenever there is a matching die, it's a must since it makes it so easy to cut it out. Here I stamped directly onto Pink Pirouette cardstock. 

 

To finish it off, I used Seam Binding ribbon by Verve's collection called, Stormy Skies Ribbon  which matched up perfectly for this card, button, and added some candy dots on the bottom right hand side.

 

Once again, don't forget to check out the Viva la Verve Master Challenge thread for all the details on this monthly challenge and a chance to win a Verve gift certificate plus have fun in the process. What do you think of today's card?
