Today's card was made for the latest challenge hosted by Pals Paper Arts, a KISS Challenge! KISS stands for "Keep It Simple, Sweetie" and challenges you to use less not more when making your card! The following are suggested guidelines for creating a KISS card:
- Clean with lots of white space
- Simple Designs
- Minimum time to create
- Limited layers and embellishments
My card features a delicate frond of fern stamped in Melon Mambo onto Whisper White. A simple mat of Melon Mambo helps to showcase the image against the clean, white card base. The scripted sentiment was stamped and matted in Melon Mambo and adhered to the base using Stampin' Dimensionals. Clean, simple, quick, and pretty!
What are you waiting for! Join the KISS Challenge at PPA and create your own KISS card to share with us! Visit PPA to add your card via Mr. Linky before 12:00 NOON CST on Tuesday, February 23rd. Who knows...you might just be a Pals Paper Arts Artist Pick!

Stamps: Kind and Caring ThoughtsPaper: Whisper White, Melon Mambo
Ink: Melon Mambo
Tools: Stamp-a-ma-jig

Gorgeous Margaret! I love all the white space. It really makes Melon Mambo pop. Great job with the challenge!
