I probably should do acrylic block stamping more often. It does make a fun background for a CAS card. It's just one of those techniques that is unpredictable and therefore makes me nervous. I solved that this morning by making four of them with different inks and varying amounts of water. That way I could choose the one (or two) that I liked best. I saved the other two for later projects. The one on the right uses Distress Oxides and quite a bit of water and the one on the left uses Distress inks and less water. As you can see, I do not concern myself with how straight I can stamp the block. But I think the curvy shape of my acrylic block is very forgiving. I couldn't resist another card for today's CAS humor challenge. I think this panda is just too cute and paired with this sentiment stamp that I picked up on clearance at Hobby Lobby, makes a great get well card to have on hand.

I have felt this way the last few weeks - today was a struggle. I can totally related to these cards and I LOVE them. Hugz

Yes, it's that kind of day here, too! Love the smooshed backgrounds, Jennifer! Thanks for sharing these with us at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge!

I think that's the beauty of those backgrounds to have that wiggle edge and I love that you have such fun pops of color for that poor panda the sentiment is perfect for him.
