It's Julee's (owner & illustrator of Verve) birth month, so we're having a SALE!

Through July 31, ALL stamps are 20% off!





For my card today I am using Verve's Blue Skies, One Person, and All Aflutter Plain Jane stamp sets.  I am using Verve's Cut Above All Aflutter die set.  I stamped the flowers onto MME pattern paper and cut out.  I enhanced the designer paper color a bit for the flowers and leaves with copic markers.  I popped the flowers up on foam tape.  I stamped the sentiment from Blue Skies and softly sponged the center of the oval.  I am using this week's MoJo Sketch248.  I did turn it upright for this card. 


As always thanks so much for stopping by!  Enjoy the hop!  Next up is the super talented Jen d.'s Blog!
