Having more fun playing with DOX inks. I do love how the inks layer to create beautiful backgrounds.
This combination of red and purple makes me happy. :) I created a regular A2 size smooshed background and was able to use it for both the flowers and the piece behind the honeycomb aperture. I stamped a sentiment banner in the same purple ink and adhered it to the bottom of my card front. Quick and easy card!
Here's the close-up.

ReplyDeleteThis is SO pretty Loll! The reds and purples make me smile too! Lovely, lovely card my friend!! :0)
ReplyDeleteSo pretty, and love the colors. Quick and easy in YOUR hands maybe. I would have struggled to think of a way to use the smooshed colors! I like that cutout honeycomb corner that allows the underneath to shine out and complement those lovely flowers! TFS, Hugs & Merry Christmas too!
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty, Lolly! It has a cheerful, lilting attitude and I like that! So will the happy mail recipient!! Happy Holiday Hugs! Dolly
