Smooch in the house!
There was a whole lot of smoochin’ going on at our house last night! No… not that kind of smooch! *wink* The new Smooch product I ordered at CHA came in yesterday! I thought the Stampin’ Up Garden Silhouettes set would be the perfect image to use the Smooch. I started by coloring the image with markers and stamping it onto Choice Buttercream cardstock. Then I painted all of the flowers and berries with Siren Smooch. After letting it dry I layered Pumpkin Smooch around the outside of each flower. I added a few Green Apple Smooch highlights to the leaves and went back to the flowers to add the little details with Moonlight Smooch. You can see how easy it is to be detailed with the fine-tip
applicator. I was able to make each of those mini-dots, highlight the leaves, and dot the berries without any extra effort! I embossed the large green scalloped square with my Textile Texture Cuttlebug embossing folder. The sentiment is from Hobby Lobby (I think the Stampabilities brand?) and I added a row of Zva brown crystal strips to the bottom. A touch of May Arts satin ribbon finishes off the super simple card! Here’s a closeup of the Smooch in action so you can see just how detailed you can get with it. It’s now available at Taylored Expressions in 8 different colors for only 
$4.50 a bottle. If want all of the Smooch you can get, click here for the I Want It All Smooch item. All 8 bottles for $36.00. Here’s another picture of an open Smooch bottle so you can see the fine-tip applicator. The bottles are plastic as well so you don’t have to worry about dropping them! Can you tell I love this new product!? I’ve already made a request to Clearsnap for a true red for Cuppie’s cherry! *grin* Thanks for stopping by today! Hope you all have a wonderful day!
