Vervey Thanks

Happy Tuesday!  It's the second day of our New Release Spotlight Hops and today the Divas are previewing 2 new sets and a single frame stamp. My sample features the new sentiment set, Joy for the Journey, and the Vintage Oval Frame stamp.

To start, I stamped the Vintage Oval Frame stamp twice (once on Ivory cardstock and then again on some Dream Street Papers dp), then cut the ivory at the inner frame line and the aqua dp on the outer frame line and layered, then trimmed a small mat for it.  The ivory piece is embossed with the Tim Holtz Regal Flourishes texture fade and I softly sponged with some Vintage Photo distress ink.  The flowery paper is the back side of the same Dream Street aqua paper, and I stitched a border and added an  espresso mat.  I used a QuicKutz corner flourish die that caught my eye in Laurie's stamp room, then added a bit of ribbon on the diagonal.

The sentiment is from the Joy for the Journey set and is punched out with a 1-3/8" circle punch, then matted with an espresso nestabilities die cut, then layered over the vintage oval frame.  i finished off with some aqua bling and two gorgeous little paper roses from Recollections.

That's all for me today.  Thanks so much for stopping by!  Be sure to hop around to the other Divas featuring these stamps today and leave some comments for a chance to win today's stamps!  :)  Here's the hop list...

Beautiful! I really like the paper (think I might have that...LOL). I like the rolled corner that allows you to see the other side peeking out. All the details and bling. Definitely a "Julee" creation! :)

Julee, I love your card!! The design and colours are lovely. Love the blings and also the little rosettes. And I really appreciate the sentiment because it's one I would use again and again. I am hoping & wishing you would someday ship to where I live, so I don't have to purchase your stamps and have them sent to my sis who will forward them to me ;)
