Welcome to October's Diva Dare! This month's theme is "Tag, You're It" and the Divas are daring you to create a tag or a card with a tag on it.
I love making and using tags! They are so versatile: you can use a tag on a gift, use it on a card for a quick creation, or make a matching card and gift tag set. Lots of wonderful possibilities! With Christmas quickly approaching (....sorry, about the "C' word!), it's a great way to get started on gift and hostess tags too.
Today I went with the tag on a card option (though I also have a fun tag I made which I'll post in a few days). Diva Jen's Deconstructed Sketch was the springboard for this card, and since I just love the images in the recently released Poppy Birthday, it was my set of choice. The poppy cluster was coloured with Twinkling H2Os, and the paper is from Making Memories. Something was missing so I added the secondary "enjoy" sentiment from Surely Goodness to the small heart and a bit of crimping for some dimension.
Of course, where there is a Verve Diva Dare, there are prizes, and this
month's dare provides two prizes: one for a randomly selected
participant and one for a randomly selected commenter! Worth
participating for sure, because rumour has it there will be a Verve
release coming soon, and a gift certificate would come in very handy
wink, wink!

Another gorgeous example of Marisa-liciousness! xxx
Such an elegant color combo--I'm loving the soft green and pink paired with black. And you've become such a pro with using a skewed panel. This sketch looks fantastic with the tag!
I love the double flags and hearts with the tag all on top of that beautiful black and white polka dot bg!
Super gorgeous. You know my heart always goes pitter patter when I see your crimping.
Bear Hugs,

This card reminds me of a childhood memory, and makes me feel good. :) love the pink and black together.
Thank you SO much for leaving love at my place, and I am sorry it has been a while since I stopped in. I see all your posts in my inbox, and life has been so very busy, leaving me with little free time. With the clocks changing this morning, I had an extra hour to visit you!
