Post 185 - CAS card: Sending Hugs

Hi folks!

I'd like to share a Clean and Simple card today. This is a 5 by 7 inch card. I used the Ink Smooshing Technique on this using distress oxides and dye inks. I usually mix and match the inks I have to get the colors I need. I must say I love the organic and artsy look it gives. Stamped the flower image and sentiment in dark blue ink. The card base is navy blue and I finished it off with a few enamel dots. 

List of Supplies:

 Happy Little Stampers Stamp- Especially For You (flower)
Happy Little Stampers Stamp- Doodled Flowers (sentiment)
Cutplorations Double Running Stitch Rectangle Nesting Die
Distress Oxide Inkpads- Wilted Violet and Broken China
Lawn Fawn Dye Ink Cubes- Mermaid and Fresh Lavendar
Ranger's Dye Inkpad- Blue Ribbon
Canson Watercolor Paper
Navy Blue Cardstock 270 gsm
Aleene's Tacky Glue
Enamel Dots

Here are a couple of pictures of the card:




I am playing along with the following challenges:

3. Calling All Sistahs CAS01 May Challenge (was inspired by the colors and also the flowers)

    Hi Preeti, what a gorgeous card! That smooshing technique gives your flower such a beautiful mix of colours. Using the navy cardstock as your base really emphasizes the deeper blue, too. Love everything about this card. Thanks so much for joining our Watercooler Wednesday Challenge this week.
