"Smoosh" technique

I'm heading out tomorrow morning to Naperville, Ill. on a 10 hour drive to visit my parents and daughter over Easter! My daughter lives in Chicago and is joining us for the weekend-so we will all have a fun time together! Sadly, my husband is staying home because he doesn't want to miss work--and get this--Easter is his birthday! Since I won't be there I made some cute little 3x3 cards with the owls on them for a scavanger hunt for him to do on Sunday. I hid them around the house today with some gifts and will call him Sunday with the first clue.....

SO, it will be a few days til I add a new post...please be sure to check back on Tuesday!

I'll leave you with a card I made for the downline swap using the "smoosh" technique!

The background is made using a page protector that I opened and put a couple drops of Pacific Blue, Certainly Celery and So Saffron reinkers. Then, you spray a mist of water and close the plastic. SMOOSH. Open and put 2 pieces of glossy (you can use regular cs) back to back on the ink--close and SMOOSH! Take them out to dry or heat set. Each background is unique!

Then I inked tree with Versamark, sprinkled Heat and Stick powder, heated (quickly) and dumped chocolate glitter on it. Reheat to set. The Pacific blue cs is embossed with a SU Texture plate.

Have a Happy Easter and will be back soon!
