cas(e) this sketch #120

I've been focusing on Mother's Day cards for the past week, hoping to make a good head start so that I'm not rushing to make them at the last minute.  Here's my latest...


I used the "smooshing" technique I learned from Laura Bassen's blog, applying watercolor (in this case, distress inks) by using an acetate sheet.  


Totally love this technique...not only is it fun, but it helps me to achieve this free flowing, natural look.  I'm submitting this card to CAS(E) this Sketch, where we're using this as our inspiration.


Thank you for taking a look!

Supplies:
Stamps: Simon Says Stamp Best Mom Ever
Dies: Simon Says Stamp Devonshire Butterfly
Inks: Tim Holtz Distress (peacock feathers, picked raspberry, squeezed lemonade)
Other: sequins
