I'm thankful to be able to join the Inspiration Team for this month's hop and to showcase my beloved Verve Stamps! Even better, there's a PRIZE up for grabs, so be sure to leave a little shout out in the comment section of each blog as you hop about to be entered in a drawing for a $30 gift voucher to Verve Stamps! The hop list is noted below if you need it. You can also check out all the details and prize info over at the Verve Blog.
Since Autumn is close at hand and I just loooove autumn colours, I couldn't resist making a fall themed card. In addition, Julee has a Fall Sale going on over at the Verve Store and this set is included!
I used Autumn Splendor for my card, creating the kraft background with one of the leaves from the set, and then framing the sentiment with the Rounded Scallop Frame. The Pennant Trim die added some detailing to the bottom of the card and two cut out leaves are a tribute to the glorious maple leaves which will be turning colour on our street soon.
The rest of the Divas involved in this month's hop are noted below and they have some fabulous, inspirational creations for your viewing pleasure!
