Dance in the Rain

Oh how I love the sketch for this week's Viva La Verve Challenge!! I've been spending a lot of time cleaning up and organizing my crafting space the past week or so and came across a package of never-used long white cards! I honestly can't remember why I bought them but was so happy to see them when I saw this sketch!

I chose coordinating papers, stamped flowers and butterflies on the solids in coordinating ink colors for a subtle effect, stamped and cut out more butterflies, stamped the tag, and tied it with raffia! It is amazing what you can pull together when you know what you have and where you put it! :) It is a bit hard to see in the photo but I used Stickles on the wee butterfly bodies to give them some sparkle and bent them a bit so their wings pop off the card.

Can't wait to see what the Divas have come up with for week 2!
