It's time for a new challenge at
This month's challenge is
If you're not sure about this technique,
Loll has found several links to smooshing videos.
Tutorials:
My flower was cut from pieces of smooshed watercolor paper.
The green was done with re-inker and metallic Perfect Pearls
spritzed with water on a craft mat.
The flower head was mopped up from Brusho overrun.
I find that I get some really pretty papers from the leftovers.
Our challenge is sponsored by
and the winner will receive one stamp set from HLS.
Joyce is our fantastic Guest Designer this month.
Smooshing is fun! I hope to see lots of smooshed cards this month!
Thanks for stopping by.
Enjoy!

Gorgeous, love the intense colours, Cathy x
Amazing, Bonnie! It almost looks like you shaded the flowers and leaves rather than smooshed them. Fantastic!
So beautiful and elegant. Your smooshed flower has a lot of dimension with the layers. Beautiful card, Bonnie. xx
Stunning card Bonnie - love the vibrancy of the colours on the flower.
Blessings

Smooshing is one of my favorite techniques but I haven't used it to die cut pieces. I love your poinsettia, Bonnie. I'd better get smooshing. ;)
Every time I think you could not possibly make anything better or prettier you do! This is gorgeous and one of my most favorite cards that you have made. You are so dang good!!

Happy New Year Bonnie! I love your smooshed flower. The colours are amazing and the shading gives real dimension .... great job!! xx
What a bright flower. Smooshing gives a neat look but also looks a bit messy.
Love the smooshed pieces for your flower (especially the flower head - great use of leftovers!). You've made a gorgeous card to use as a Christmas thank you!
Fabulous Bonnie... Must give it a Whirl....
Hugs Sylvie xx
Happy New Year....
Bloomin' Gorgeous! Love that you used your brusho mop up. It looks fantastic, and the green technique got a beautiful effect as well. Against the crisp white, this really shines. Like the way you've done the framing and rectangle layer too. Well DONE, Miz B. TFS & Hugs
forgot to say TFS the links too.
Stunning die cut, Bonnie--love this card!
This is so fresh and pretty Bonnie. A really lovely card. Barbxx

This is really beautiful and elegant Bonnie and the white frame really makes the flower stand out and I love the way you have finished it with the pearls in the centre. Wishing you lots of wonderful creativity in the coming year. x

Superb smooshing, Bonnie! Fabulous and the white makes it pop so well! I intend to smoosh some too-- after PS release this week!
