Hello again! I’m back for Day 4 of the MFT May Release Countdown with a card featuring ink smooshing and the the new Circle Celebration Background.

I can think of many different ways of using this gorgeous background stamp, but today I went with clear embossing and ink smooshing with the following Distress Inks; Chipped Saphire, Peacock Feathers, Tumbled Glass, Broken China and Seedless Preserves.

It was a lot of fun getting my hands dirty, for a change! Once my 6″ x 6″ watercolor paper panel was dry, I splattered some gold watercolor on it and then trimmed it with the largest die from the A2 Stitched Rectangle STAX Set 1 Die-namics.

Next, I adhered it to another same sized panel of Smooth White Card Stock (since I didn’t have any white foam left) and to a cardbase that measures 8 3/4″ x 5 5/8″ (22,2cm x 14,3cm).

I used the new All the Feels Die-namics to die cut four layers of cardstock (the last one in matte gold) and stacked them to create my own “thickers”. As a last touch, I added some Nuvo Crystal Drops in Bright Gold.

That’s it for today! Head on to the MFT Blog to see what my talented teammates created with the featured products and be sure to leave a comment (on each countdown post) for a chance to win a $75 gift voucher to the MFT Boutique!
