I have been scrapbooking only for the last month or so and I think I have forgotten how to make cards! So I just made a little one for this challenge to get me back into the groove.
This was a really quick make. I first stamped the largest stamp from "Elements of Style" in Pear Pizazz onto Pear Pizazz CS. Then I chose the second largest stamp and stamped it onto Baja Breeze cardstock (in Baja Breeze ink). Then I cut a few blocks, tied some seam binding ribbon. The sentiment is from the same set, in Poppy Parade. Finally I stamped the hummingbird in Poppy and cut it out (the only fiddly bit!) and stuck it on with a single dimensional.
This stamp set is awesome. I didn't know whether I'd like it, as it is not my usual style, but I already love it!

Great card. The hummingbird in poppy is very striking and simply pops. The other images from Elements of Style are gorgeous, too, and understated, which I really like.
Thanks for sharing a great card without too many fanfare.
