Ink Smooshed Flowers

 Hi Everybody,

Todays card is another ink smooshed one with the background and flowers created with Distress Oxides.

For this I have used really old dies and they have made the coffee rings in gold, the butterfly in white and gold and the flowers and leaves in various sizes.

For the flowers I inked a while panel and then placed the cover die of flowers on too. It cuts out lots of flowers all in one pass through the machine and saves a whole lot of time.

I have had this die for years and used it many times and these have been layered with the different sizes to create the flowers for my card. 

Each one has a gold pearl added to the centre. These started off as white but I coloured them  with a gold alcohol marker pen.

If I where to make this card again I would tone down the background with some parchment over the top and that would allow the flowers to show up more ..... but it is what it is !!

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx
