Hello and welcome. This week is all about "Occasion" cards at The Watercooler Wednesday Challenge and Kath is our hostess.
I started by making an "ink-smoosh" panel. Here was my technique:
- I liberally inked an 6x6" acrylic block with Distress Inks. I wanted an ombre gradient look so went in rows across the page. I used Mermaid Lagoon, Salty Ocean and Twisted Citron.
- I liberally sprayed the inked block with water
- "Smooshed" the block onto a piece of watercolor paper
- Weighted the ink/block with a book for 5-6 minutes
- Uncovered. If the ink pooled, I dabbed with a paper towel.
The next day, after the panel was dry, I die cut the B using the Altenew Mega Alphabet "B" die. I heat embossed the birthday sentiment and die cut a cover frame using Sunny Studio "Frilly Frame Stripe". I glued the striped frame, B and sentiment to an A2 card. I like the clean simple lines of this card.

Those DI give a wonderful colour washes, Karen! The large alphabet letters are so effective, especially against the die cut background! :)
