I FINALLY made cards for Julie's *Get Smooshed* HYCCT challenge. I had never tried the Ink Spray Smash technique...but I really like it!
I used a full sheet of glossy white, cut in quarters. I made 3 cards, because the backgrounds were so different. I still have one quarter left; I used one quarter to cut some leaves.
I'll send one to MD Anderson, but 2 are spoken for (pastor and nephew). Other than the drying time, this didn't take nearly as long as I expected!

The way your colors smooshed together is SO cool, and all three of your cards turned out wonderfully! I really like the colors you chose. Looks like you had a lot of fun with this technique. (I have to admit I haven't tried it yet myself.)

Kim, this turned out beautifully. Like you, I'd never tried the technique before and loved how it came out. The autumnal colours in this are lovely, and I really like the contrast between the textured and the smooshed leaf.

Your background is so awesome!!! I love the different results this technique produces! The leaves are beautiful! This is a stellar card!

Goodness -- this one is just as pretty as the last! I need to try using the quarter panels and making more than two next time -- I am seeing such creativity from folks on this one!! Love the clean and classy design you've chosen with your layout as well! Thanks so much for joining me in all the fun with my HYCCT challenge! :-)

Pretty color combo, love that Razzleberry popping with the olive & pumpkin! Great idea to use it with die cuts, I have a few extra backgrounds laying around too, hmmm!
