September Verve Diva Inspirations Hop

Welcome to Verve's September Diva Inspirations Hop!

It's the 5th of the month and that means it's time for the Divas to serve up some fresh inspiration with their Verve stamps! Leave some comment love along the hop spots for a chance to win a prize, then grab some stamps and play along with our September inspiration challenge for another chance to win!

This month's challenge is entitled Sweet September:



Sugar-high! Get sugary sweet with pastels, cupcakes or candy. Create a calorie free confection to delight the senses! Feel free to use the graphic as inspiration or not.

Here is what I created.  I double-dipped this month and used the first Viva la Verve sketch of September to help jump start my card.


 

I paper pieced the fun cupcake image from the Carpe Cupcake set for my card.  I paired it with some bright and fun patterned paper and a little bit of glitter.  Yummy!  

Need a little inspiration? Check out the blogs linked below to see what the other Divas did with the challenge! It's sure to be a treat, and speaking of treats, we've got a prize for one lucky commenter along the hop! Check out the Verve Blog today for all the prize info and deadlines!
