Viva la Verve weeks 2 and 3

Good afternoon everyone! Hope your Tuesday

is going well! I thought I'd share two cards this afternoon...

I made these two cards using Verve sketches.

Here's my card using Week 2:

Supplies:

Echo Park and Paper Studio paper

Verve stamp, MFT jellybean green ink

Nesties lacey circles die, MFT layered rose die

Now for my card using the Week 3 sketch I am also entering

it into this months Diva Dare over at the Verve Blog.

Here's the challenge:

This month's dare pays tribute to Diva Jen (Deconstructing Jen) who is an amazing colorist and Diva Janelle (Rain Puddles Design) who often uses paint on her cards and is a wonderful mixed media artist.  So what we're daring you to create this month is a card using coloring and/or painting.  If you want to kick the dare up a notch, you can add kraft card stock to the mix (Jen's specialty) and/or make a mixed media card (Janelle's specialty).

For my card I used kraft cardstock as my card base

and did some splatter painting with some red,

white and blue paint I had on hand.

Supplies:

Freebie digi stamp

red, white, blue arcylic paint

A Cut Above by Verve star border die
