Anything Goes With Paper Smooches

Can you believe it is Wednesday and I am posting a card to the Paper Smooches Sparks weekly challenge?

The challenge this week is Anything Goes.  Those are good challenges. This week I needed to make a card for a bridal shower.  I always struggle with cards for bridal showers - what do you use.  I guess anything goes.

I have been taking the Online Card Class - Stretching Your Stamps.  The first two classes are on using your background stamps.  You ask - what does that have to do with this card.  Well - I did s background and used a rainbow background.  I liked the background so well I decided just to make rainbow watercolor background for my card.  I had this die cut sitting around so I thought why not use that for part of the front of my card.  I then used the dies that coordinate with Denim and Daisies to cut all my flowers.  I had colored watercolor paper in the same colors as my rainbow background.  I thought the sentiment was very appropriate to the background and for a bridal shower card.  

I need to find some heavier vellum.  I guess I will put that on my card making shopping list.  If you wish to shop for your own stamps from Paper Smooches pop over to their store.  

Well time to get ready for bed.  

Anything Goes With Paper Smooches

This week the challenge on the Paper Smooches SPARKS blog is Anything Goes.

I have not been making too many cards lately.  I have missed some of the weekly challenges on the Sparks blog.  This week I needed to make a bridal shower card.  I decided to use the word "shower" as my inspiration.  I cut an umbrella with my Silhouette.  I cut two layers.  The bottom layer is glued to the card front and then I pop dotted the top of the umbrella.  The rain is hearts.  I used two different hearts from two different Paper Smooches sets.  I colored them with Copics.  Some of the hearts have glossy accents on them.  The sentiment is from a Christmas Sentiment set.

I even decorated the inside of the card with more hearts and another sentiment.  I thought this sentiment was perfect for a card raining love.

I used a different heart stamp underneath the sentiment.  I wish I had colored it with Copics so the color matched better.  Some of these hearts also have glossy accents on them.

If you wish to purchase your own fun stamps from Paper Smooches, you can find them in their online store.

Off to do some cleaning.
