July Sparks Challenge....Paper Smooches

I love Kim Hughes's stamps.....Paper Smooches stamps are just the cutest and her fonts are fabulous.....I wish I had more of them.  I still only own one set (hoping to change that soon).....one of the orginal sets, Falling for You.

 Kim has started a monthly challenge, Papersmooches Sparks Challenge, and it was just what I needed to motivate me to use these fabby stamps. I had time to whip up three different cards using 2 of the different sketches. How cool is it that Kim offers up great sketches and color combos each month....such a nice perk!
I couldn't resist playing along. Look how great these sketches are.

First up is my monster love card. I used one of my fave color combos along with one of my all time FAVE paper lines....Oct. Afternoon-Fly a Kite.  If you click on the picture, you'll get a close up of the detail.  The kraft layer is actually embossed with one of PTI impression plates-linen and canvas.....love the subtle texture it adds to any project.

stay tuned.....two more cards in seperate blog posts coming up!
 Hugs!
