Hugs, Kisses, and Birthday Wishes

 When I was cataloging my stamps a couple of weeks ago, I realized that the company I have the most stamps from is The Greeting Farm. I started buying their stamps when they first opened in 2008! I have about 70 sets, some of those sets are just one stamp and others are more than 12 stamps! I have been trying to purge stamps when I want to buy more, but I just can't seem to part with any of my TGF ones! LOL

I'd like to enter this card below into the following challenges:

Color Dare #688

Time Out #305 - Favorite Card Technique (ink smooshing!!!)

AllSorts #842 - AG/Optional Make Your Own Background

Krafty Chicks #805- AG + Embossing

Seize the Birthday #319- No Topping


I said it before and I'll say it again - this was one of my favorite color combos! I used the ink smooshing technique for this one and created a fluid background. I die cut the leaves out of some watercolor paper that I blended ink on, I attached 2 of them with adhesive and the final one with foam dimensional tape. I stamped the sentiment directly on the card. I stamped the adorable girl from the Sparkle Big Kit (The Greeting Farm) with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder. I colored with Copics, fussy cut, and attached with foam dimensional tape. I added some Dazzling Diamonds glitter to her wing and finished it off with some rhinestone stickers. Peace.
