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 until December 5 to link up, so feel free to play as often as you like.
Our November challenge is Rustic Winter
The days are turning cold and the splendor of fall is changing to the magesticly rustic beauty of a winter woodland. This month we're challenging you to bring a little bit of that rustic winter to your creations. Follow the graphic or head off on your own trail, just show us your rustic winter creations!
I played on this challenge with all the wood and brown tones in the inspiration photo. I started with a piece of wood paper from this pack of Real Wood Veneer that I won from a UK friend ages ago! This stuff can be cut down, stamped on, and diecut! You can find it HERE. I drew a circle around a standard circle die and used that as my placement for my sprigs from Sprightly Sprigs die set into a wreath shape. I embossed with white embossing powder a sentiment from Holiday Treats. Lastly, I added red gems and a burlap twine bow.
Challenge deadline: Thursday, December 5.
Prize: $30 gift voucher to the Verve online store!

I love that you BUILT YOUR WREATH! Awesome! And of course the wood is a must for all things rustic!
Love how you made your wreath, the twine bow is so perfect with it too.
I'm so glad I came back to see your Nov blog hop post. The wreath is great! If I hadn't read the details about how you created the wreath using sprigs I would have thought you just layered up a couple wreath cuts. And the veneer makes a terrific backdrop.
Thanks for sharing!
Very pretty! I love a simple wreath hung on my door and this reminds me of that. Perfection!
I just love this SO much!!! GORGEOUS card!
This is so gorgeous! Love your sprightly wreath!
Great card, from the woodgrain background to the twine and the leaves of the wreath, it all says rustic.
That wreath is fabulous!!
What a lovely wreath against the woodgrain!
What an awesome wreath and a great use for the sprigged die! Love the rustic background against the sparkling berries!
What a perfectly lovely card, Amy!!! I think you used the red gems in such a fabulous way and I'll be doing that with some of my holiday cards now too! That wreath is gorgeous!!! Full of rustic charm!!! Thanks for your always fabulous inspiration! :)

The wood veneer background looks great. Perfect choice as a background for the lovely wreath. The leaves remind me of mistletoe. Well done.
I always love a wood grained background and it shows this beautiful wreath off to perfection!

Love your wreath and the wood grain background paper!
Love how you layered the wreath dies and added the pretty gems, bow and sentiment.
Very pretty wreath. It shows up well against the woodgrain paper and the twine bow is a nice touch.
LOVE it!! I was looking at the wreath thinking what a pretty die it was, and then started to notice the Verve look to it and thought you must have used the sprightly sprigs. And lo and behold, you did! What a great idea; it looks awesome.
Beautiful wreath against that wood look background! Very pretty card!
