Just a Quickie



Hello--I've got a super quick post today--I wanted to share one more inspiration card for this week's CASology challenge, where the cue word is TROPICAL.  Nothing says tropical more than my favorite tropical flower--hibiscus.  I used a Memory Box Hibiscus Flower die in some warm and tropical colors along with a sentiment from PTI Aloha.



You still have some time to play along with CASology this week...the link up ends Monday at noon (CTD).


My next card is my final attempt to make something using this week's Make it Monday #204 Watercolor Smooshing technique.  It's much harder than I thought to get something useable. Finally, I just decided to go with what I had.  I spritzed a bunch of Heidi Swapp Chartreuse Color Spray, Sheer Shimmer Mist and then ran the panel with a Cover Plate Stitched Die.



I am entering this card at Make it Monday #204, Just us Girls #284 Splatters, and Freshly Made Sketches #177.




Thanks for Visiting

  4. That's a beautiful array of hibiscus, Joyce. As for the smooshing, I find it much easier to use my Distress Inks. I don't have any PTI inks and the HA wouldn't work so I gave up.
