Here is my take on Tie it Up challenge using Paper Smooches products.
I started my card by die cutting two postage stamp panels using Simon Says Stamp Postage Stamp die set. The smaller panel using watercolour paper and the larger panel using Neenah Solar white cardstock. I stamped and white heat embossed the flower and leaf cluster from Blossoming Bud stamp set by Paper Smooches on the smaller watercolour paper and coloured with Zig Clean Brush watercolour pens. I then stamped the sentiment below the coloured image using Versafine Onyx Black Ink.
On the larger panel, I used the gold twine from American Crafts to wrap around. Love the curved groves on the edges. It helps keeping the twine in place at equal distance between each other. I feel like I am talking Physics. Sorry I was teaching my son Physics last night and it is still in my head. Haha! I adhered this panel on the white card base using foam adhesives. And the smaller panel on this panel using foam adhesives. There is a lot of dimension on this card.
Finally embellished the front panel with a tiny gold twine bow and gold sequins from Pretty Pink Posh! I have all the products I have used on my card at the end of the post.
Here is a closeup of the card.
So now it's YOUR turn, Happy Crafting
