It's time again for the Viva La Verve Challenge round up. There were five challenges in the month of September. If you would like a closer look at the challenges, you can click on the challenge title and it will take you to the direct thread at SplitCoastStampers.
VLVSep01: The first was a sketch given by Julee while Amber was out of town. The {twist} was to include round things. I used the mini Rhinestones from Zva. I also used the half circle boarder punch from EK Success called Scalloped Scallop.

STUFF I USED FOR THIS CARDSTAMPS: {Verve} Because of You
INK: SU Bermuda Bay and Dusty Durango
PAPER: Basic Grey "ambrosia", scraps
ACCESSORIES: Ribbon, Mini Rhinestones, Nestabilities Label 4, EK Success Border Punch
VLVSep02: The second challenge {twist} was to make a smaller card than the normal 4.25"x5.5" card. Since I was out of town with the first challenge started, I decided I would make all the cards for this month smaller and thus they are only 3"x3" and I went ahead and used the sketch from the first week again.

VLVSep03: The third challenge was another sketch with the {twist} to make a card for a special lady in your life. One of my best friends if having a birthday at the beginning of October and I thought this would be a nice gift card for her.
Here is a close up of the 3D balloon. I saw a tutorial on the web for this and thought it was great. You can see the tutorial HERE.

INK: SU Basic Black, VersaMark
PAPER: Basic Grey "ambrosia", scraps
ACCESSORIES: 1.5" circle punch, white embossing powder
VLVSep04: The next challenge was another great sketch with a {Twist} to make it black and white. I didn't have any great black and white paper, so I used white rub-ones on black cardstock, and black rub-ons on white cardstock. I really like how this turned out, even with the simple stamp for the focal with NO sentiment!

VLVSep05: The final challenge was another sketch with a {twist} to use specialty paper. I didn't read the twist the first time around and had to go back and add the stripe of glitter paper to make sure the {twist} was covered! Don't you hate when you forget to read the directions!
