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 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. ;)
