Pals Paper Arts is hosting a KISS (Keep it Simple, Sweetie!) challenge this week and I couldn't resist using a sneak peek set from the Summer Mini called Elements of Style!
I don't know how "kissable" this is, though. I tried to restrain myself from adding too much- honest! I guess I still got a bit carried away :).
You will definitely want to view the close-up of this card to find another sneak peek! I used a new folder from the Summer Mini called "Square Lattice". I love the texture it adds to the card.
Here are some tips:
- I stamped a background on Whisper White using Jet Black Stazon. Then I ran it through my Big Shot with the Square Lattice die. The texture really reminds me of fabric.
- My color scheme did remain pretty simple- lots of white, black, and touches of Real Red and Kraft (soon to be called Crumb Cake).
- I snipped out the little humming bird and added it to the card with dimensionals. The sentiment square was also added with dimensionals so that I could run Real Red grosgrain underneath it.

Absolutely stunning, Carrie!
So pretty and elegant Carrie.
Wow, gorgeous!! Beautiful design, fabulous card!! :)
What a beautiful, rich card. The pop of red is awesome too. Hugs,
Wonderful card Carrie! I hope I'm not repeating anyone as I try not to read other's comments and have them influence my comment. The combination of the two stamp sets was flawless! I hesitate to combine sets as it increases the cost of the project, but just can't help myself sometimes. This works so well! Great job!
