For my first project I decorated the cover of a purchased Paper Mache Journal.  I had bought some sticky back canvas and I have been wanting to stamp on it and when I received HCPC 3497 - Script Aster Background PreCut Set I knew it was perfect for this.  I then colored the flowers and leaves with Clearsnap Smooch Ink and Tattered Angles Glimmer Glaze. Of course, I love sparkle so I added some Stickles too!

 

PAPER MACHE JOURNAL

 

For my second project I wanted to show you how easy it is to make an elegant card out of the HC Design Paper.  The paper comes in 12" x 12" sheets and I just cut them to 6" squares, so you get 4 cards out of one sheet of paper.  On this sheet of Design Paper the vase and flowers are already preprinted, so all I did was stamp the "My Wish for you" sentiment, added a couple 3-D flowers using the Delicate Asters Stamp and Die from this Collection with Tailings Elements in the center, and some Robin's Nest Dew Drops for accents in the corner.  This was very easy, but the end result is so pretty!
