Our June challenge is Eat Me, Drink Me

Challenge deadline: Saturday, June 20.
Prize: $30 gift voucher to the Verve online store!




 

For my card I die cut Verve's Cupcake Frame die set.  I stamped the sentiment from Verve's Coffee stamp set in versamark and white embossed.  This sentiment always gives me a little chuckle.    Next, I die cut Verve's Coffee Word die cut twice and glued together for added stability and dimension.  I chose the colors from the inspiration photo.  I added loose threading behind the frame with some foam mounting tape for added dimension.  I finished the card with a few of Verve's Shine Bright Sequin Mix. 








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!
