Hey everyone! Each month half of us on the Baker's Dozen will be featuring a specific product, and this month Smooch is the center of attention! I'm featuring it today along with Taylor, Dawn, Jackie, Karen M., Laurie, and Sankari.
I made two cards to show you today using the Grape Soda Smooch...but I'll get to my cards in a minute. First, I want to share some info on the product in case you're like me and you haven't tried this stuff yet.
I saw a picture of the Smooch bottles in Taylor's store and on blogs when CHA was going on. To me, they look like fun little nail polish bottles so I think I pictured a typical brush tip and liquidy paint that would take long to dry. Nope! Not the case at all! The tip of the applicator is firm and pointed like a felt-tip marker and the pearly/shimmery paint doesn't drip off the applicator. It's just wet enough to paint up a full stamped image or you could use it to highlight certain areas of an image....I did both of these things on my cards below. Oh, and the paint dries pretty quickly too! Love that!
Okay, so onto my cards. The balloons on this first card were colored with Copics and I used the Smooch only on the balloon strings and along the lower right side as an accent. The balloons (from my Beary Special Accessories set) are paper toled, three layers, on Taylor's foam tape.
On the next card, the balloons are also paper toled three layers deep, but this time I completely painted the balloons with the Grape Soda Smooch...very pearly and shimmery! I also added some sponging behind the balloons and used DP instead of a white panel.
The 3/8" Orchid Satin Ribbon and birthday sentiment from Year of Sweet Sentiments are also in the TE Store.
