Let's get on with the sneak peek shall we?! Today's stamp set is called Life is a Carnival. That there doesn't need anymore explanation. Nina has outdone herself this time! This set is a fun and whimsical set with a vintage edge to it. Which is why I LOVE it sooo much! Here's what I came up with...
I stamped the bigger images in the set to make a background panel for my card. And I used these soft colors to mute the images and make them appear more vintage. I also stamped the ticket stubs, cut them, inked the edges and adhered them with foam tape. Foam tape is one of my essential tools in card making. I wouldn't know what to do without it! lol! :)
I die cut this label and stamped my sentiment inside. Isn't that vintage sentiment just darling?! Nina is such a genius!!! :) I hope you like my card for today's peeks! I'll be back again tomorrow for more!
