Distress Ink Smooshing

I was playing around with some Distress Ink smooshing and have a couple of quick cards to share:


This first card, I made with the Merry Monday colour challenge in mind - I used Twisted Citron, Peacock Feathers, and Wilted Violet. The tree die is from Ellen Hutson - and I used the same ink colours on the geometric pieces before layering them on top. The greeting is from MFT and is silver heat embossed - and I added a Tim Holtz mirror star to finish it off. I made another version of the card with some silver splatters in the background instead of the Distress smooshing:






I made the second card with the current Inkspirational challenge in mind. I started by stamping a map onto watercolour cardstock in Archival grey ink before adding the smooshing Picked Raspberry, Spiced Marmalade, and Mustard Seed inks to the "urban" area of the map. I sprayed some old Studio Calico Mistables with some like-coloured Dylusions sprays, and added a white embossed Studio Calico greeting and a few Freckled Fawn hearts to complete the card.

 I will link to the following challenges:
Thanks so much for stopping by!

    Such fab cards, Jill! I love the colors you smoothed with in your first card, I think I might need to CASE this combo (need to do some smashing in a future DT card!). I don't have these exact inks but I have something that's close! :) That tree is very fun and modern looking and you already know how I much I love that grey base you used in your third card! Thanks for joining us at Less Is More!
