Today marks the first day of Verve Sneak Peeks! Today through Friday there will peeks of the brand new sets over at the Verve Blog! And trust me...you will definitely want to see these new sets!!
The set being "peeked" today is called Kindred Spirits. One of the things that I just LOVE about Julee's stamps is that they work together so well!! Well, that and they are just flat out gorgeous! :-)
For my card I paired a fairly "modern" color combo (Black, Smokey Grey, & Coral) with a bit of a "vintage" style. I stamped the Fleur de Lis border along the bottom of five strips of Coral patterned paper (Breaking Free by My Mind's Eye) and then cut around it to create a sort of decorative edge. I then used my paper distresser to rough up the edges...which also caused some white to show up on the edges. :-) The sentiment (from the same set) is embossed using Black Detail e.p. on to the Smokey Grey card base.
You can see more of the Kindred Spirits set by checking out what the other Divas created over at the Verve Stamps blog!
Well, I'm headed out the door! I hope you all have a fantastic day! ~Laurie
