Gold + smelly + Chin Ho Kelly

It's hard to go wrong when you're working with paper as stunning as this:

I'm working on custom stationery pieces for a wedding taking place in just over a week. From menu cards to programs to place cards and guest itineraries, my studio is filled with neat piles of trimmed card stock and the pretty gold embossed floral paper shown above.

The one challenge in working with this thick embossed paper is that it requires heavy duty adhesive since traditional tapes and glues just don't work. Earlier this week, I spent a good number of hours prepping my materials and trying hard not to inhale all the fumes, while a concerned Chin Ho Kelly (aka Daniel Dae Kim from Hawaii 5-0) kept a watchful eye on me.
Stay tuned for pics of the finished projects!
