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:
