Thank you Karen for all your Inspiration:-)

I have been so inspired by my friend Karen (Snippets) background techniques
that she has been sharing with her Blog friends during this time of
home isolation.

My card was inspired by Karen's smooshed watercolored background cards:-)
Be sure and check out her awesome blog.  You will be inspired too:-)

I used Leaf Green and Turquoise Brushos.  Sprinkled the green onto my glass mat

spritzed generously with water and smooshed some areas of a piece of Strathmore
Mixed Media paper in green inks and let dry.  Cleaned glass mat.

Then sprinkled Turquoise Brushos onto mat, spritzed with water and smooshed other

areas of the MM paper.  Let dry and then stamped with an older wood mount

Penny Black "Scented Message" collage style stamp using Archival jet black ink.

Die cut smooshed and stamped layer with Reverse Confetti "Lacy Scallop Frame".

Added Penny Black "Happy Snippets"  sentiment stamp,  "believe".

Popped up layer using white craft foam onto SU Whisper White 100# cardbase. 

I loved the collage design and the Quick Clean and Simple design.

I added Nuvo White Blizzard Glitter Drops to the centers of the flowers, 

that show up well IRL and add such pretty glittery shine.

Thank you again Karen for always Inspiring me and sharing your detailed

descriptions of your techniques.

Stay safe dear friend and keep on Creating.  Hugs..

Sharing our well loved 35 acre paradise!

We have a Large 50' x 100' garden and  many flower gardens and ornamental trees :-)

So plenty to do during this time of self-isolation,  especially in the Spring!

We have spent 48 years developing our paradise,  raising our 3 kids and now

enjoying retirement.   We both have hobbies,  no TV and plenty of books and music:-)
