This started with a piece of ink spray smash paper I created (For today's CAS challenge, Lee challenged us to make a CAS card with pink and orange so those were the colors I chose for my technique. I took my small ink pads and pressed them onto a sheet of waxed paper. I added some dots of smooch paint then filled a spritzer with rubbing alcohol instead of water (dries really quickly) and smashed my glossy paper into the ink. I laid my paper down a few times to get the whole piece covered. I went back and spritzed again and did the second half sheet so it isn't quite as vibrant as the first.) I punched my cherry blossoms from the 2nd sheet of paper I made. I had this little scrap of a branch in my leftovers pile and had cut out a window of Melon Mambo in making a previous card so that's where I began. I kept on going though so I didn't end up putting this into the CAS challenge ;) I cut another frame in Espresso. I couldn't fit my sentiment as it is on the stamp so I masked to stamp it as I wished. I dry embossed my Pumpkin piece and glued down my image panel. I added the burlap ribbon with a cheater's bow. I popped this whole panel on foam circles onto a base of the same Mambo.
