Ink Smooshing to Color Die Cuts + Rain or Shine Blog Hop!

Some of my favorite techniques in one card! Featuring ink smooshing with Distress Oxides and an edge to edge shaker, this card is a breath of fresh spring air. I’m using new products from Simon Says Stamp’s Rain or Shine release.

This card features the pretty Whimsical Branch Frame die set, which is quite fun to play with because you can customize it to your heart’s desire with the floral and leaf pieces. I also paired it with one of my favorite sentiment dies, the Just a Note set from Simon and CZ Design; it’s a good, all-around basics set!

Inside of this edge to edge shaker are lots of pretty sequins, which give a magical backdrop to this scene!
