Hello! Time for a new challenge at Seize The Birthday, chosen by Ashwini - it's Use Your Favourite Technique.
My favourite technique is messing around with Distress Inks. Whether it's smooshing or sloshing or watercolouring, I just love using them!
For this card I smooshed, sloshed and watercoloured some Seedless Preserves and Bundled Sage onto a STAMPlorations image and my background, and added a sentiment strip.
Pop on over to the Seize The Birthday blog for some more fabulous inspiration from the team, and from our Surprise Party Guest Lols, and join in the fun!
Gorgeous card Shirley :-) the background is fabulous, love those colors together and the cup and flowers are so beautifully done :-)

There is therapy in smooshing and sloshing I believe! It just feels good to do it and I love the background for your relaxing cup of coffee/tea.
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful card! Love it!
ReplyDeleteOxide inks are the only thing I reach for! I love everything about this card! It all blends so well together. The smooshed background looks perfect!
ReplyDeleteI wish my smooshing or sloshing would look as good as yours, it was like everything came out exactly how they needed to! I love the cup and the added flowers, gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteLove these colours together and your smooshing has created some fabulous texture, that cup of tea looks delicious too! Cathy x
ReplyDeleteSo love your artsy coloring!
ReplyDeleteI haven't ink smooshed in quite some time. You've inspired me with this lovely background. Beautifully done Shirley!
ReplyDeleteI must praise you for just choosing two distress ink techniques - though I love them since they are easy to work on but still do look really good. The tea cup image looks great, and perfect for coloring as well. Gorgeous card!
ReplyDeleteYour smooshed background is gorgeous! I love your colour combo - I don't have Bundled Sage but I might have to get it now! This is such a wonderful card - well done.
