September Verve Diva Inspiration Hop!


Diva Hop2

It's time for the Verve Divas to bring you our monthly Diva Inspirations Challenge and Blog Hop! 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! You have the until October 5 to link up, so feel free to play as often as you like.

Our September challenge is Autumn Lovelies

September brings to mind crisp apples, bouquets of sharpened pencils, baked pumpkin delights, rainbows of fallen leaves and don't forget Pumpkin Spice Lattes and Salted Caramel Mochas! This month we're challenging you to to show us your autumn inspired creations. Use the inspiration graphic or go off on your own tangent, just share a little autumn loveliness with us!

Since I'm a mom, September always says back to school to me.  With new teachers and classes, it's a great time to thank those that teach your kids.  I've used Teachers Count and matching dies along with a border stamp, from Borderline, stamped in colors from the challenge graphic.  My sentiment was stamped onto a Rounded Scallop Frame Die that was cut from red and again from white.  The apple was colored with Copics and adhered with foam adhesive.

    The chevron background works well here in all the different colours Amy, and the sentiment topper is perfect with the heart and the apple, and the little stars finish it very prettily. x
