Paper Smooches Anything Goes Challenge


For the September 20 - 26 Anything Goes Challenge with Paper Smooches,I thought it would be fun to share this card.  I love the Paper Smooches products, always top quality with very creative designs.

I decided to make a small gift for a friend of mine who is getting married.  That act usually requires many thank you and note cards.  For this card, I used some Distress Ink, this one was Mustard Seed, as a watercolor background.  I then die cut the letters from the Paper Smooches Sassy Letters alphabet and the ampersand was from Ampersands 2.  I die cut a leaf from the Foliage 1 dies in heavy vellum paper and tucked it under the ampersand and let it kind of float on the card.  I then rubbed the edges of the watercolor paper with some Versamark ink and applied some gold embossing powder.  I then mounted this to a white A2 note card.  

I made three of these cards.  The blue was Distress Ink Salty Ocean with silver accents and the other was Black Soot with a heavy vinyl shiny paper for the letters.  I love the way they turned out and was only possible with such a cute alphabet to work with.

Thank you for visiting.

  2. This is a wonderful design, Susan, and I'm impressed and inspired by how you made three of them! After all the years I've been making cards, I still kick myself when I've finished one because I didn't at least make TWO of them while I was at it!

    BTW, it would be great if you had either a "Join This Site" button or a "Follow by Email" button so that folks wouldn't miss when you publish a new post. If you need directions for adding either or both of those buttons, let me know. (darnell dot knauss at gmail dot com) Hugs, Darnell
