CPS#122

If I remember correctly the Card Positioning Sketch challenge is one of the very first challenges I ever did. This week I really liked the simplicity of the design. I thought I needed to use a paper that could stand on its own. One with a strong design. Here's what I chose. This is a heavy weight shiny paper.


Remember those kraft photo corners? Well I knew that color wouldn't work with this paper, so I colored them with a chocolate marker and then I got the bright idea to emboss them with clear powder. So they would shine like the paper. I love the way they turned out. Now I am thinking if I could find them in white I could make any custom CTMH color I wanted! I also used glossy cs for the sentiment.



Thanks for stopping by!

Paper: Sweet Leaf cs (CTMH) floral (Me and My Big Ideas) white glossy (Kodak photo paper)
