New Verve...SWEET Scallop Tag Die!

Yes, you "heard" me correctly! Julee has come up with an amazing coordinating Verve die to go with her newly designed "Sweet Scallop Tag" stamp! How much better could it get? I'll tell you! Not only does the die coordinate, but there is also an alignment tool included and a specially designed envelope to store them! I did do an earlier sneak peek of this die on Monday with my Vintage St. Nick card. However, now I'm allowed to TALK about it! Here's a card I made with both the new Scallop stamp and coordinating die:

A few close-ups of the details:

This week's Viva La Verve sketch:

I dry embossed the background paper and lightly sanded the raised parts for a cool distressed look. Close to My Heart papers have a white core which makes this kind of distressing possible.

I used Amber's awesome sketch over at the Verve forum for the fourth and final card challenge for October. If you complete all the weekly sketches for the month you have a chance to win this entire release! And believe me, this is definitely THE PRIZE! Just link up your creations to Verve's October gallery, post the cards in the champions thread and a random winner could take it all!
