December Diva Inspirations Challenge and Blog Hop!

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 January 5 to link up, so feel free to play as often as you like.

Our November challenge is Cup of Kindness

 

Everywhere you look this time of year there's a flurry of color. Shiny ornaments, twinkling Christmas lights, window displays decked out in the merriest of brights. And not to mention all the sweet little wassail, hot cocoa, tea and coffee cups all around. So this month we're challenging you to share a cup of kindness with us. Get inspired by the graphic or blaze your own color trail, just show us some colorful creations!

Challenge deadline: Tuesday, January 5.
Prize: $30 gift voucher to the Verve online store!

For my card I chose to create a fun and colorful background to mimic the cup of colorful ornaments in the inspiration piece.  I chose four colors of ink and used my round blending tools to create the concentrated color circles.  I added some doodles to add a bit of whimsy.  Next, I die cut Verve's Flourished Tag die set.  I stamped a sentiment from Verve's Get Together stamp set.  I die cut a cup from Cup of Cheer die set in black card stock and embossed this fun white polka dotted coffee mug.  I finished my card with a few tiny stars from Verve's Hocus Pocus and Aqua Skies Shaker Mixes.
