I started by smooshing the background panel using a few drops of Peacock Distress ink Re-inker (very concentrated) and a few drops of Delicata Gold Re-inker. Spritzed with water and moved the colour around using a plastic knife. Smooshed with a piece of mixed media paper until the entire surface was covered with ink. Still had ink left on my mat, so smooshed a second piece, adding a bit more water, but not more ink. This second panel is the one used on this card.
Stamped the image in black ink and clear heat embossed before watercolouring mostly with perfect pearls (pink, copper, gold) and distress ink Pine Needles. There is a lot of shimmer on this card!
The sentiment (from the same stamp set) is stamped in black and clear heat embossed. Adhered the panel over a white card base.

Jessie had surgery yesterday on her left hip.
It seems to be a lot harder on her than her last surgery (right hip) which was 7 months ago.
Hopefully today will be a better day.

Wonderful smooshing and colours and loving the shimmer on your wonderful card Loll x. My heart goes out to the adorable Jessie x....Please get well soon jessie x.
I love your smooshed background for your stamped and beautifully colored wreath with a seashell motif. Love how the sentiment is a perfect match for the wreath. TFS Lolly. Love and Hugs...
I am glad you have Jessie's other hip done now and hopefully she will be able to be more active and pain free. I know her rehab takes up all your extra time, but of course so very important. I am sending Jessie healing thoughts and wishes for a complete recovery. Love to you both...my dear friend. Take care...I know how worried you have been...
Awh, I hope Jessie feels better soon. Poor baby!
Love this sea shell wreath! The background is beautiful and so is your watercoloring! I can imagine the shimmer is awesome!
poor Jessie, I'm sure she will perf up soon and will be bounding around as though nothing had happened ♥
Beautiful shell wreath Loll, I bet it has so much sparkle IRL
Poor wee Jessie - she does look like she's feeling poorly in that photo. Wishing her a very speedy recovery.
Lovely sea-themed card! A beautiful smooshed background for the seashells.
Love this card, Loll. Beautiful background and a lovely stamped image. I hope Jessie make a speedy recovery. xx
Poor Jesse - I hope she bounces back soon...
Love this card Loll - it's beautiful - the stamp and the sentiment are fabulous, and your background perfect.
Stay safe

Love your smooshed backgrounds and this one is no exception, the fab frame with that great sentiment make an altogether super design.
Aww, poor Jessie, hope she's up and about soon. :)
Wow, using re-inker to smoosh is a great idea. The gold adds an elegant touch. That is a beautiful sentiment. Thanks for the update about Jessie. I thought about her all day Monday. I'm sending her healing wishes and hope it gets easier for her as days go by.
Ah, this beautiful wreath! Your smooshed background is ideal for it. So pretty with the gold in the background and the shimmer on the wreath. I guess I somehow missed that this is Jessie's second surgery, poor sweet girl. Wally had leveling osteotomy on one leg at age 7. It's a big surgery, but was well worth it. I'll be watching for news on her recovery. Take care, both of you.
Your card is beautiful Loll! LOVE that smooshed background, and I can just imagine the shimmer on the seashells. Lovely, lovely card, and I hope Jessie is healing up...no fun to see our furry friends limping around! Hugs. :0)
Awww ..... poor Jessie. I hope she's feeling better today. Sending her lots of healing hugs xx
Love your seashell card, the smooshed background is just perfect to show off that pretty shell wreath xx
Beautiful card, I can imagine the shimmer. Poor Jessie, I am sure she will perk up in a day or 2 xx
What a lovely sentiment and your background is dreamy.
Aww sorry your fur baby is not feeling great. That sounds like a pretty big op, so hope she's recovering well now.
Buster says she needs 'chickin' ;o)

I love the background you created for that wonderful seashell wreath, Loll. Great sentiment too.
The beachy smooshed background is so perfect for the pretty seashell wreath, Loll! I can imagine the shimmer from the Delicata Gold ink.
Jessie is a trooper, so she'll recover from the surgery quickly and be active again! I know how mom feels though...

Beautiful scene, Loll, and the water is true to form in its many layers of color. Blessings to Jess, hope her healing is quick!
