This is my card for Julie's Get Smooshed HYCCT challenge which you can find HERE.
Julie linked to a couple of tutorials in her challenge thread, I've quite often done Acrylic Smash so this time I decided to try something new-tpo-me and tried the Ink, Spray, Smash. I love how it turned out!! I used two sheets of my Rangers glossy card; I'm going to experiment with photo paper and if it works with that too, I'll definitely be using this more often. Thanks, Julie!
When I'd left my background to dry, it made me think of a cloudy sky so I decided just to add a simple silhouette image. I added a sentiment, edged it with black and highlighted the solid Agapanthus stem with Stickles for a quick (drying time aside!) CAS card.
You can find the Master Challenge thread with all the HYCCT challenges HERE, and the chat thread is HERE
We do hope you'll join in this fun month of challenges for our 5th annual Hope You Can Cling To card drive, with plenty of prizes for those who participate!

Love those soothing blues Sabrina and that stamp is PERFECT for this technique. The sparkle adds a bit of razzle dazzle and the lined border just gives that extra POP! Clean and classy!!

Oh I love your ink, spray, smash card! By far this technique is my favorite. It gives so many possibilities. Your card is stunning with the silhouette with the stickles. This is super!
