I made this card for a couple different challenges. I had already planned to participate in the 1st Viva La Verve sketch when I saw the Our Creative Corner challenge for this week, so I combined them. Only this week's Viva La Verve sketch isn't necessarily a sketch. The challenge is to CASE one of the Verve Divas cards. I chose this card by Shannan Teubner. The twist this week is that participants must not use patterned paper if the Diva did on her original card. If the Diva did not use patterned, then the participant must! Got it?
The Our Creataive Corner challenge was to make a card in shades of purple. This was pretty easy for me since I just had to find some patterned paper with purple in it.
For my case, I used patterned paper instead of embossed cardstock. I used different stamps. I changed the focal image from a circle to an oval and added scallops on my mat behind the focal image. I went relatively plain, I eliminated the button and stickles. Finally, I changed the color scheme just a bit (purples instead of yellows!)
Lastly, Shannan used a sketch for her card and I want to give credit here too. The sketch is from Taylored Expressions Cupcake Challenge #62.
Thanks for looking!
