One Day at a Time - For Verve Diva Dare

Hey everyone, Happy Christmas Eve!

The Diva Dare at Verve this month is to create a card using your favorite Verve Stamp set.

It is very hard for me to pick favorites, but I have to say that my favorite kind of stamp from Verve would have to be the Plain Jane.  They are inexpensive, there are so many great verses/sentiments, and I love the fonts that they come in too.

I'm using one of my favorite PJs today on this mixed media card.

The front panel is mixed media paper.  I masked off one of the feathers from Ronda Palazzari's  The Crafter's Workshop Fancy Feathers 6x6 stencil and painted it using Distress Paint that I squeezed/dabbed out onto a plastic plate.

I added some splatter using the distress paint as well as Heidi Swapp Gold Lame Color Shine.  I also (once everything was dry) brushed Gold Lame paint over the center portion of the card and directly onto the feather sections.



The sentiment was stamped using Archival Ink.

Some Gold Twinery Twine and May Arts Burlap String finished it off.

Thanks for stopping by!  Hope that you have a wonderful holiday!  If you're looking for me, I will be eating.... ;)
