Daisy Smoosh

Hi everyone.  I've made another card for the CAS Mix Up March Challenge - Smooshing.



This month we are also celebrating our 1st Birthday and we have a few prizes to give away - check out the details HERE.



I used a small scrap of smooshed background that I had in my stash.  I made this a while ago, so I'm not positive, but I believe it is smooshing with Inka Gold and a few distress reinkers (ripe persimmon and picked raspberry).  The colours are so pretty and bright.  I added a white punched and layered daisy with a gold center, and two die-cut white leaf sprigs.  The sentiment was stamped in Delicata Gold ink which matches the colour of the Inka Gold used in the smooshed panel.

Since this bright and cheerful card reminds me of spring, I'm also sending this to the gallery at CAS Watercolour March Challenge - Spring.  I hope you'll join us there too! :)


I'm also entering this card into the Snippets Challenge - Week 271 & 272.  I used snippets for the smooshed panel, daisy and leaf sprigs (everything except the card base). :)








Stamps:  Fun Birthday Sentiments (Happy Little Stampers)
Paper:  White card base (Neenah 110 lb. card stock), Watercolour (Arches 140 lb. cold press)
Ink:  Distress Re-inkers:  Ripe Persimmon, Picked Raspberry; Delicata Gold
Accessories & Tools:  Inka Gold, water mister, Small Daisy punch (Punch Bunch), hole punch, glossy accents, Olive Branch dies (C.C. Designs)

    Two of my favorite colors together and who doesn't love a Daisy?! I always loved Meg Ryan's line from the movie "You've Got Mail" about Daisy's being such a happy flower and how can you not smile when you see a Daisy!! Beautiful card my friend!! :0)

    That daisy looks phenomenal, so pretty on top of that rich colored bg! I was wondering if I could enter my Ink Christmas card for CAS Mix Up but maybe not because my only stamped thing is the sentiment... Bummer! Let's see if I'll make something else -I did enjoy the smooshing technique!
