Mixing and Kissing!

 Hello! Today's card uses three sets:   Lots of Letters,  Stamp it BIG from Carolyn King, and Simple Hearts from Tami Mayberry. Don't they work well together? I really like how you can spell out some different beginnings or endings for the BIG greetings of Carolyn's with Lots of Letters
 I kissed her small polka dot pattern from Stamp it BIG onto the bold border from Lots of Letters in Memento Lady Bug ink, re-inking each time.  Isn't that fun to give this bold border any pattern you want? I love how delicate this pattern is.  After stamping the border, I added the letters (one letter actually fell of the block as I was stamping so I had to make them all at slightly wonky angles to match!)  and then the THANKS and "I love you" around it in Memento Tuxedo Black.  I stamped Tami's hearts image and cut out to pop up at the top left and then used some Gina K Bowl of Cherries buttons and red bakers twine to finish the card. (Oh, that button on the right is covering a black smudge, hee!) Cardstock is Pure Luxury White and Black onyx.




Thanks for visiting me today!  It's almost the weekend, woo hoo!
