Smooched background

Hello crafting friends!

This past Saturday I decided to work on making some 

birthday cards.  I always seem to fall short when I need them

unexpectedly.  I also wanted to use some of the pieces that I had

in my stash.  This is one of the cards I made. 

I had this background in my stash from a couple months ago

when I was making some "smooched" background pieces.

I taped a piece of watercolor paper to a board,

then I smooched Distress Inks onto a piece of acetate,

sprayed it with a bit of water then laid it onto the 

paper and let it sit for just 15-20 seconds.

When I picked up the acetate, this was what I was left with.

And I LOVE how it turned out.

All I needed to do was adhere it to a piece of brown card stock,

then to a white card base and add a sentiment.

The Happy Birthday sentiment is from 

"Stamp On It"

stamped with brown Color Box Chalk Ink onto

white card stock, trimmed out and adhered with 

foam tape.

Simple card, but I think it turned out great.

Thanks for stopping in today, I hope you'll 

come again soon.

Until then,

try something new!
