October Diva Dare-Day 11

  Pink Power- October Diva Dare

Good morning and welcome to the final day of October's Diva Dare!  It is Teresa sharing my take on this month's dare. By now you probably know the dare this month is Pink Power, we are honoring Breast Cancer Awareness month...sure hope you take the dare!

I have used the Inspire Hope Verve stamp set and also played along with today's Viva la Verve, a great way top combine those challenges! I adore the entire release this month, I reach for the Inspire Hope the most, I adore the sweet leaf bracket with the option of adding the different flowers. If you have not seen the Pink Power(temporarily sold out) set, it is a must have too...the bald silhouette image is soooo inspiring! What a fun month this has been, I hope you will create something pink to share...sparkle & shine!

October 2014 Diva Dare - Day 10

  Pink Power- October Diva Dare

Welcome to October's Diva Dare!  It's Charmaine with my take on this month's dare, entitled Pink Power, in honor of October being breast cancer awareness month. 

I used the new Pink Power set from Verve for my card.   The papers are from the Yours Truly Collection from Pebbles.  I stamped the ribbon from the set multiple times on white cardstock and then covered the cardstock with glitter to give it some sparkle.  I kept the card pink for the most post. . .and decided to add some dark grey for the sentiment circle.  :)  The sentiment was stamped and embossed in white.  I also used this week's Mojo Monday sketch for my card.

October 2014 Diva Dare - Day 9

  Pink Power- October Diva Dare

Welcome to October's Diva Dare!  Jen here with my take on this month's Diva Dare, entitled Pink Power, in honor of October being breast cancer awareness month. 

For my card I started with a dark gray cardbase and layered it with pink polka dot paper from Doodlebugs Kraft In Color paper pad. Over that I layered a bit of dark gray houndstooth paper from the same paper pad. I then stamped the sentiment on a banner cut using the Banner Bundle Die Set and matted it with a larger die from the same set. Behind that I cut two small flags and put one on either side using the Flag It Die Set. I used the Pink Power stamp set to stamp the sentiment and the butterfly. To finish everything off I added a few rhinestones to the butterfly and a bit of stitching over the gray patterned paper.

October 2014 Diva Dare - Day 6

Hey everyone!

Chaitali here for today's Diva Dare post! This month's dare is entitled Pink Power in honor of October being breast cancer awareness month.

This is a cause very dear to me ofcourse since my mom was diagnosed with it earlier this year. (I hope you checked out the stamp set I illustrated for her!)

However, today I wanted to celebrate the power of pink in another way. My mom recently had her surgery and is recovering well from it! So I have a Congrats card for her!! Here is my card...

This is based on the recent VLV sketch and inspiration pic. I used Peaceful Medallions and Die Sidekicks sets on this one. The enamel dots are home-made (learn more about that here!) :)

And now for the Diva Dare deets...

October 2014 Diva Dare - Day 5

Welcome to October's Diva Dare!  This month's dare is entitled Pink Power in honor of October being breast cancer awareness month.  Many of us have had friends and family who have waged a battle against this disease.  My grandmother, mother, and now my Aunt have all been diagnosed with this horrible disease.  I am so grateful for any stamp set that will encourage, uplift, and bring a smile to those that are also fighting this disease.

 
I really love the sentiments in the Inspire Hope set!  I think they are perfect for sending some love and encouragement!  I started with a couple of pink patterned papers and then layered on some patterned vellum.  I embossed the frame and sentiment using white embossing powder and the flowers using silver embossing powder.  I added some silver cording, a mini clothes pin, rhinestones, and some sequins for embellishment.

October 2014 Diva Dare ~ Day 4

  Pink Power- October Diva Dare

Hi Verve fans and welcome to October's Diva Dare!  It's Andrea here with you today and this month's dare is entitled Pink Power in honor of October being breast cancer awareness month.  Many of us have had friends and family who have waged a battle against this disease. I was just informed recently that a wonderfully sweet neighbor of mine was just diagnosed with breast cancer. I am hoping that she wins her fight against this terrible disease. Here's a card that I made for her in her honor:  

I wanted the pinks to really stand out, so I based them on a very muted background, with just hints of pink in it. I used Verve's Pink Power stamp set, stamped on a cut out tag from Prima's Romance Novel papers. I mounted that on a Spellbinders die and added my array of vibrantly pink flowers, with a silver charm and some black/pearl stamens thrown in for a little interest. The edges are all distressed with a paper distresser and Walnut Stain distress ink. I decided to make the card base smaller than the card front...just cos you don't see that very often. :)

  Pink Power- October Diva Dare

Welcome to Day 2 of this month's Diva Dare!  This month's dare is entitled Pink Power in honour of October being breast cancer awareness month. 

On my pinkalicious card, I’ve use the brand new Inspire Hope and Pink Power sets from Verve.  I’m mixing and matching the powerful words from both sets to create a chalkboard-ish panel wrapped in my own “pink ribbon” and finished off with some Shine Bright Sequin Mix.

October 2014 Diva Dare

  Pink Power- October Diva Dare

Welcome to October's Diva Dare!  This month's dare is entitled Pink Power in honor of October being breast cancer awareness month.  Many of us have had friends and family who have waged a battle against this disease, and over the past five years, I have had two very dear friends who have both battled and won their fight against breast cancer.     

So needless to say, I simply adore this new Pink Power set, and am totally smitten with this gorgeous silhouette!  One of the friends I mentioned above decided to go bald and beautiful during her chemo treatments, and I made this card with her in mind as she carried herself so proudly at a time when one does not exactly feel beautiful.   

For my card, I pulled out two pink papers and accented them with silver, some bling, scallops and a heart.  I couldn't resist using the Ribbon Die again as it is such a wonderful symbol.  The butterfly is a symbol of metamorphosis from dealing with being bald from chemo to new hair growth and a new lease on life after treatment.
