I used the ink smooshing technique for the background. I heat embossed the sentiment and the embellishments with white embossing powder, the ink smooshed the background with distress inks: fired brick, fossilized amber, spiced marmalade and cracked pistachio. I cut the background out with the largest Spellbinder's Lattice Rectangles. The image is the digi of the month at Imagine That! called Maggie's Apples. I used the pre-colored image, fussy cut it and popped it up from the framed sentiment. I added it to the card blank.
I am entering these challenges:
- September Digi of the Month Imagine That!: use Maggie's Apples
- Hiding in my Craft Room: free style
- Simon Says challenge: die crazy
- Cut It Up: oh brother, for a sibling or friend I made this card for ne of my co-workers. We are just like family and last week for my birthday they left flowers and a book on my desk. We work well together as a team and I so appreciate them.
I hope you'll check out this week's anything goes CAS challenge at Outlawz. We have a PaperTrey Ink gift certificate up for grabs. Thanks for stopping by and hope your weekend has been fantastic!

Donna, that's a great looking background with the smoosh technique. Mine never looked this pretty...more washed out than your fall tones. It looks so nice with the cute digi perched atop this, and that was a good choice of the S/B die. Wonderful card! TFS & Hugs
Love your background- the fall colors are wonderful and they look so nice on that beautiful die! So nice to have wonderful co-workers too. Love the cute image you used.
What a fun technique, I love the outcome!! :) Watercolor look is all the rage these days. Loving the fancy border too, cute card!! Thanks for joining in our DOTM challenge at Imagine That! Digis by Kris this time. ~Kris
