I have been doing some ink smooshing using Distress Oxides.
The one on the left is with Picked Raspberry and Squeezed Lemonade and the one on the right is with Kitsch Flamingo and Mermaid Lagoon.
I have some videos on my YouTube Channel showing this Ink Smooshing Technique if it is new to you. And this one includes Ink Smooshing & Die Cutting also
But for these two cards I have cut out both the panels with the Torn Edges Die Set and then inked up the edges with Embossing Ink and added Gold Embossing Powder. I also added some of the embossing ink using a finger dauber and a stencil on one, and in a random fashion on the other and embossed them the same way.
The other layers for the cards have also been cutwith the same die set making them to fit around the main panel.
I found lots of items on my desk top left over from other projects and I used them to complete both of my cards.
The sentiments are from Special Words, cut in Gold mirror card and backed onto parchment.
I used some pearl flourish to finish off the look on both and I have had this flourish for years in my bit box, but by cutting it up into pieces I made it fit both of my cards.
Both cards have used bits that might otherwise have been thrown away or lost, but now they have been put to good use instead.
Two lovely cards, great backgrounds. Glad to hear you know what’s wrong with Ruby, hope she’s soon back to normal.

ReplyDeleteThey are both just beautiful, lovely arranging. When I have extras left over I put them in a little basket I have and then try to use them in other projects
