It's another Anything Goes week for Paper Smooches SPARKS challenge, and this really is an Anything Goes card for me as I stamped on paper towel for this one. What do you think? Weird, or cool? I've got mixed feelings on this one, but I think it's kind of cool.
I used pigment inks from CTMH for the flowers/leaves and Smokey Grey Versafine for the sentiment. You really need to use pigment inks because dye inks will bleed too much.
The paper towel is pretty sheer, so I added a piece of white cardstock behind, cut just a bit smaller.
Short and sweet today. We are finally getting back to a 'normal' routine after our snowfall this week. Schools are open today albeit two hours late. Hope that you are having a great day!
Supplies Used
Paper/Cardstock: Avery Elle - Kraft and White Cardstock; Paper Towel
Stamps: Paper Smooches - Calico and Simply Said
Ink: CTMH - Adventure Mini Pigment Ink Pads; Versafine - Smokey Grey
Other: Tombow - Mono Adhesive

ReplyDeleteWhen I first glanced at it I thought it was a dry embossed panel and then I was wait, is that a paper towel? Love how the inks sit on the paper towel and don't go all crazy/messy.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun technique, Miriam! I never would have thought to do that, and it looks awesome!
