I'll stand by you - for Ukraine

 Hello Crafty Friends,

Today my thoughts go out a little bit extra to the brave people of Ukraine. It's been three years since Russia invaded Ukraine, and started the war.

To the Ukrainian people: You are all heroes, and we stand by you! 💙💛

Take care, and don't give up!

AAA Birthday Card challenge #70

 Hello Crafty Friends,

It is the 1st of February and time for a new birthday card challenge at AAA Birthday card challenges. The theme for the month was picked by our talented DT member Vicki, and it is such a fun theme this month -

Ink Smooshing

Here is my take on the challenge

I started by stamping my image on a card panel, then it was time for some ink smooshing. I used a piece of acetate and pressed the ink pads directly onto the acetate, then I sprayed the ink with some water to make it move. The acetate was pressed onto my stamped image to colour the flowers and leaves. I tried to smoosh the inks on to the flowers so they all got a different colour. I stamped a birthday greeting, and gave the panel a black border/frame before addhering it to my card base. 

Products used for this card
Inks: Distress Inks by Tim Holtz/Ranger, VersaFine Clair "Nocturn" by Tsukineko
Stamp set: From my stash, don't know the brand

Now it is your turn! We can't wait to see your ink smooshed birthday cards. You have until the 28th of February to create, upload and link your birthday card to the AAA Birthday Card challenge blog.

In need of more inspiration, or information? Head on over to the AAA Birthday Card challenge blog which is filled with cute, beautiful, colourful and fun inspiration cards by the fabulous DT and our special guest designer for the month, Ashwini Rao (Her card is beautiful!).

Take care, keep crafting and have fun!
