ATSM #504 - Any Occasion




I wanted to experiment with the Savoy Double Thick Cotton 236lb Letter Press cardstock that I got from CutCardStock. The stuff is amazing for letterpressing but what about watercolor? Just look how well it handled the Brushos watercolor crystals. Brilliant!

Now this paper is double thick and that's no joke. Think twice as thick as a cereal box. I decided not to put it on a card base to avoid extra postage. Instead, I created an easel after watching a video by MayMay Made It Crafts. The one I made starts at around the 10:28 mark.  The only alteration I made was to mark the bottom at 1/2" instead of 1/4" so the angle of leaning would be a bit larger.
