Verve's Diva Inspirations Challenge and Blog Hop!

It's 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! You have the rest of the month to link up, so feel free to play as often as you like.

 

Our July challenge is Sensational Stripes

Stripes go with everything! Make them nautical, or pair with florals for a graphic look. Use stripes however you're inspired! Use the inspiration graphic or head off in your own direction, just show us your stripes!

For my card I started with Fancy Pants By the Shore patterned papers.  I layered pattern sections to follow this week's Mojo Monday Sketch.  I used Verve's newly released Flourished Tag die set  and stamped the circular sentiment from Verve's Faith Medley stamp set.  I  added a loose thread bow and attached with a mini clothespin. I die cut Verve's newly released butterfly die from Verve's Butterfly Dream die set.  I layered pattern paper and vellum.  I topped the butterfly with a few of Verve's Shine Bright Sequin Mix.  I also added a few other of the sequins to the card.
