Blue Bird Birthday!

Hi there - thanks for dropping by!

I made this card using the ink smooshing ink technique, along with a few snippets. 

I would like to enter this card into the current ALLSORTS CHALLENGE #842 where they want to see you CREATE YOUR OWN BACKGROUND (or you can enter under the ANYTHING GOES option).

5" square card size

Details
  • Unbranded bird die from Temu.
  • Foliage die by Sizzix (Hidden Leaves, code 664581)
  • Sentiment by Uniko (Simply Said Blocks)
  • Smooshed background made using spritzed SU Misty Moonlight ink and a small piece of acetate to pick it up and smoosh on card front.
