Verve's Diva Inspirations Challenge and Blog Hop!






It's the 5th of the month and time for the Verve Divas to bring you our monthly Diva Inspirations Challenge and Blog Hop! There are two ways to win Verve prizes: comment on the design team's blog hop posts (linked below) to see their take on the inspiration, then go get inky and link up your take on the challenge to be eligible in our prize drawings!

Our April challenge is Bunnies & Babies

Spring is a time of birth and renewal - celebrate the season by creating a card for Easter or a bouncing new baby. Use the inspiration graphic as a starting point, or head off in your own direction - just show us your sprightly spring creations!





For my card I chose to focus on the yellow bag in the bottom left corner and a simple dot pattern.  I went with an Easter Inspired card.  I wanted to keep my card very clean and simple to focus more on the message.  I started with some Echo Park Sunshine dp.    I added a  sentiment from Weary World.  I really feel this sentiment conveys a powerful message. I stamped the cross from Scripture Medley 3 in a daffodil yellow shade.  I finished my card with a few Verve's  Shine Bright Sequin Mix.
