Time Out #305 - Favorite Technique

Time Out is giving you a chance to show us your favorite technique.

Whatever it is that you like to do to make your card special is what we want to see.  One of my favorite techniques is Ink Smooshing.  Like this.

Some people put ink on their mat, add water and slap the cardstock into it.  Some take a piece of acetate and dip it into watered down ink and placed on cardstock repeatedly until they get the look they want.  For me, it's easier to use a pouncer I made by wrapping acetate packaging around a ball of paper towel and securing it with a rubber band.

The panel was then used to make this card.

The smooshing adds dimension and color to the background of The Greetery Hollyhocks, making it look like more flowers in the distance.  The flowers and leaves were colored with Dried Marigold, Pealed Paint and Shabby Shutters Distress Ink, the same ink used to smoosh. 

Top Flight is the sponsor for this challenge and they will award our winner a $25 store credit.  To win you have to enter so let's get making those cards with your favorite technique.
