This card is for three challenges again, three seems to be the magic number today.
#1. is this weeks Colour Challenge to use Tranquil Tide ,Sweet Sugarplum and Rich Razzleberry, which I have done using all three colours in the front panel.
#2. is for the Teapot Challenge and I have gone with weird and quirky flowers.
#3. is the Ways to Use It challenge "Hug an Australian" I have been inspired by one of Sue aka Sue28's cards found here DTGD17understandblueA Bold by sue28 at Splitcoaststampers and also gone with one of Susie aka susie australia's favourite techniques the Slap & Squirt and because I'm Australian I've snuck one of my favourite techniques in too, heat embossing.
the card was done by first slapping the three colours down on some baking paper then spraying it with spray starch before putting the panel into it. I did this a couple of times until I was happy with the coverage.
Once the ink was dry I sprayed the whole panel with home made glimmer mist and because I wanted some bigger spots of glimmer I took the spray tube out of the mini mister and flicked some of the glimmer mist onto the panel.
I then stamped the greeting and heat embossed it with super fine black embossing powder.
I then stamped the flowers or what ever they are and heat embossed them with the same black embossing powder.
The rest is straight forward.
Sue I hope your mum is on the mend it is an awful thing to have happen.
Cheers Marg

Stunning card, Marg! That "Slap & Squirt" panel is amazing! I really must try this technique again. I remember having a terrible disaster the first time I tried, but I'm older and wiser now ;-)
