Ink Smooshing

Well hello there and welcome to the new week.

Today I’m playing with the current CAS Mix Up Challenge which is all about creating with ‘inchies’.

I must admit I haven’t played much with this style of crafting but found it to be a fab idea and you can create many varied looks. For my card a created an ink smooshed background with my Kaleidacolour ink pad ‘Melon Melody’ which I then stamped a poppy image and die cut a film strip frame to create the ‘inchies’. I popped up the frame to create dimension and added the sentiment and my card was done.

Next is my card for the current Flower Challenge #36 which is an anything goes theme.

I created another ink smooshed background with my Kaleidacolor ink pad ‘Desert heat’ and then stamped my floral image across the bottom left corner. I added some black and white twine and a few Nuvo droplets and mounted it all on a white card base.

Well, that’s it for today – short and sharp! Thanks for looking and have a great day.
