Happy Wednesday! And welcome to day two of Verve's January New Release Spotlight Hops! Today we're sneaking a dozen or so peeks at a new set called
Love Notes that will release this Friday night. If you've already been hopping, you're halfway through, if not check out the master list of hops below. And don't forget to leave a little comment love as you hop around for a chance to win
Love Notes for your very own!
And here's the first card I made with
Love Notes. Most of you know that I love aqua, so even though there are piles and piles of Valentine papers on my desk, I reached for this aqua scrap of paper from the Fine and Dandy collection by My Mind's Eye. My sewing machine and I are not on speaking terms right now, so I did a little faux stitching, adding some ticket corners with an SU! punch. The jotted heart stamp is from
Love Notes and I cut it out with the coordinating Jotted Heart Die, then colored the frame part with a Copic marker, accented with Stardust Stickles and then inked lightly with basic gray ink for a little weathered effect. Oh, and somewhere in there, I stamped the fancy Love sentiment in the center of the heart.
That cool little border strip is the
Icing die from TCP. I accented the die cut with a few black pearls and some super cool
teardrop rhinestones from Pizzazz Aplenty, and layered over my patterned paper. The background paper is from the SU! Naturals DSP pack and I embossed it with the Valentine Set #4 embossing folder from Sizzix, then sanded it lightly to highlight it. I finished off with some scrumptious
wrinkled ribbon and a Maya Road stick pin.
Okay, that's all from me today! Thanks so much for stopping by and enjoy the hop!!!

Love all the sanding and distressing you added to your card Julee. I don't think I have ever told you how much I LOVE the sparkley aqua and brown papers you carefully wrap your stamps in in every shipment - I LOVE reusing that for pretty paper in gift bags - my friends always ask where I got it, LOL!
