April Verve Diva Inspirations Challenge

Due to a total brain fart, had a card all made up for this month's Diva Inspirations Challenge and Blog Hop but totally forgot to sign up to be included at Diva Headquarters! Yes, it has been a crazy few weeks, and needless to say, I am very thankful for the restful, Easter weekend we enjoyed, as I obviously needed it - oh my!

Regardless of my ineptness, there are two ways to win Verve prizes: comment on the design team's blog hop posts (linked below) to see their take on the inspiration, then go get inky and link up your take on the challenge to be eligible in our prize drawings!

Our April challenge is Bunnies & Babies


Spring is a time of birth and renewal - celebrate the season by creating a card for Easter or a bouncing new baby. Use the inspiration graphic as a starting point, or head off in your own direction - just show us your sprightly spring creations!

Challenge deadline: Sunday, Apr. 19.
Prize: $40 gift voucher to the Verve online store!

Loved the mix of colours in this month's picture!  It screams spring and that lead to orange flowers.  I actually quite like the colour orange, so I and wanted to give it some love as it is not a popular colour of choice.

I used Be Blessed and the matching Petal Points and Sprightly Springs die sets to create my focal flower cluster as per the sketch.  The sentiments is from another floral set called Surely Goodness.  A bit of crimping as per my usual {grin} and a scatter of pearls for a little something, something.
