We'll have 5 May challenges... play along with us and link each of your challenge creations to our Entry Form link list. The link list will be up for the whole month and we'll choose a random winner at the end of the month to win a $100 gift voucher to Verve. Challenge rules can be found on the Rules tab at the top of the blog or by clicking here. You don't have to complete all of the sketches to win, but the more cards you enter, the greater your odds of winning. Verve stamps are not required to play, but we do love to see 'em! We'll also be highlighting a couple of our favorite link-ups each Tuesday, so be sure to get your links in if you're crafting over the weekend.
Here is the Week 1 sketch....
Here's my take on this week's sketch...
I've done a little double dipping today as this is my card for this month's Verve Diva Inspiration Hop. If you haven't checked out the Hop yet, head on over as there are some wonderful creations by the Divas to get your mojo flowing.
I pulled out MME's Lime Twist papers and used some of my favorite Verve stamps and dies: Dream Big, Bloom and Grow, Make A Statement along with the following dies: Elegant Leaves and Scalloped Flowers. Finished things off with a seam binding bow
using Verve's Summer Sailing seam binding set.
There have been so many stunning cards already this month! Here's a few of the fantastic cards which were uploaded this week!
Lesley's card caught my eye with her use of the bold stripes and one of my favorite Verve sets - Kind Words. Love how she used a double sentiment and her wonderful treatment on the flower image.
Jennifer's card made me smile. Love her colour combination and use of a button to keep things on the masculine side.
Love how Amy used the Notebook Plain Jane and added a frame using the Rounded Scalloped Frame on her card and mixed and matched the papers and ribbon treatments to create a great trio of cards!
Thank you all for sharing your stunning creations with us! We still have four more sketches left this month, so be sure to join us on Friday for some brand new inspiration!
