Spritz a Heartfelt Thank You Card

Hi...Jean Okimoto here to share another colorful, summery Smooch-Spritzed card with you.  A light mist of Pink Sprinkles and Gold Glow Smooch Spritz creates a micro-dotty background for some fun designs from The Stamps of Life by Stephanie Barnard.  Glittery dots of Cotton Candy and Honey Glow Glitter bring the bling.

Here's a twine-tip too...run the twine lightly over a block of beeswax to add a bit of body and perk it up a bit so it doesn't flop over.

Here are the directions for this card:
