You know what is so brilliant about Artful Delight's Card Kits, other than the fact that it is just plain awesome and way affordable?! I think it is the fact that that you get the best of both worlds, a match made in heaven. The kit has the trendiest, the newest supplies and you get to pair the contents with your favorite, treasured stash.
I chose to use the colors from the latest Paper Smooches Sparks Challenge to drive my card above. I started with a trimmed piece of folded cardstock and made three scored lines at even intervals, bordered by two drawn black lines. Kind of was going for a shoe display in the shoe store feel. Then I stamped the shoes from Pretty Mommas (the set included in May's Kit) in various colors, and finally a sentiment from another Paper Smooches set. For a touch of fun and whimsy (and to bring in the fourth color) I added a small rhinestone to the last shoe.
The Artful Delight June kits were just revealed yesterday! Check them out here before they are all gone!
