Welcome to Verve's October 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 October inspiration challenge for another chance to win!
For the second card, I again used the same Fancy Pants pattern pack, sketch, and Verve's Tall Oaks stamp set, but this time I opted to create a chalkboard styled card. I must say I really love how the pumpkins look on the black with just the outline. It looks like they are glowing in the dark to me. To keep this card simple, I chose to add some Verve's Signature Sequin Mix in brown to finish it. I love the simplicity of this one. Completely different look than the first. I am playing along with the Fusion Challenge. I used the sketch!
This month's challenge is entitled Fall Fancy:
