Hi friends! Our Seize the Birthday Challenge by Ashwini is to cover the card! In other words, NOT CAS with lots of white space! Fill up the face of the card friends!
Here I have a photo paper where I smooshed ink into the background using Distress Oxide inks. I did one color at a time and let it dry in between. I even used a heating tool to speed up the process.
When it was dry, I put the flower stamp into my MISTI and stamped it several times.
When that was dry, I took a baby wipe and with circular motion, I wiped over the flower images, it made it so more vibrant and so lovely!
I hope you will join us in this challenge! I will look for your card in the gallery!
Be sure it is a birthday card!
stamp: Penny Black: Blooming tulips, PTI swoosh (happy)
