Bold Sayings Card

 






Good Morning Ladies, 

We had the usual British Bank Holiday weather yesterday,  it was ok in the morning but by early afternoon the heavens opened, my goodness it bucketed down, on the brightside no watering necessary!!  

The next Bank Holiday weekend will be a busy one for us as its my sisters wedding, we do have the Monday free to recover thankfully.

Today's card started out as a 'Smooshing ' experiment,  I wanted to see how much more interest you would get using Distress Inks smooshed over Distress Oxides....


This bit here is my favourite, 
I love all of those tiny dots !!

I love how it turned out and I honestly think that Distress Inks certainly add crisper detail when smooshing,  which works beautifully with the chalkyness of Oxides. I used Salty Ocean for this one. 
Once the background was totally dry I used my New Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Bold Sayings stamp to add a greeting.  I wanted to keep the design simple so that all of that inky goodness was the hero of the card.  This would be a perfect 'Man Card' 

I hope that you all have a great week,

Love and hugs to all,

Sandra xxx

  1. This is a great card A great last minute make That smooshing technique is great I can never get the little dots Supposedly a craft mat is supposed to help or dabbing it lightly with acetate Nah! I just get a mess
    The rain did not stop yesterday After the 2 sunny days it was quite depressing Today is lovely and bright looking Luckily for me as I am going out to get a bus for Knit and Natter at John Lewis

  2. Hi everyone
    Love your card, the smooshing is fantastic, I will have to have a go ☺️
    It rained all day here yesterday, we probably had about an hour of dry weather late afternoon then it started again! We spent the day relaxing in doors!
    My mum and dad’s anniversary today, so I’m taking them to lunch at their favourite fish and chip restaurant ☺️
    Have a good day everyone
    Sending hugs to you all xxx
