Vive La Verve! - Viva Dare

Verve's March Diva Dare is a fun one - they've asked us to combine the crafting styles of Maureen Plut & Laurie Schmidlin - both of whom are some of my favourite Verve Divas :o)  Needless to say, I really wanted to play along... so I've taken Laurie's style of many layers, and she often uses tilted panels... and I added a button tied with waxy flax which is something Maureen often does, for my card.  I've used Verve's Week 4 Viva La Verve sketch as well:
 
 Patterned papers are Sidewalks, October Afternoon; Stamp set is Better With You, Verve; Cardstock is Tulip, Black & Colonial White, CTMH; Ink is Tuxedo Black, Memento; Clear button & Crystal Blue Waxy Flax, CTMH; Copic markers.

I came to your blog because you left me such a nice comment on mine, and you look so happy in your picture that it just made my heart smile! I am originally from Ontario, having lived in the Toronto area for 12 years, though not missing its busyness at this stage of my life LOL! Your Viva card is so darn cute, and I am particularly drawn to the stitching. I think it adds such a cool dimension to any card...one I am practicing. You also have a very unique gift for layering Wow, I am a very new card maker and I am in awe!!! So, thanks again for coming to encourage me with your comments, I have become your newest follower, and I would love it if you might become one of mine. Have a wonderful holiday!
