This is for Julie's fun HYCCT challenge - Get Smooshed. I used the great Ink Spray Smash tutorial here at SCS.
I only have dark alcohol inks so I used Dylusions Ink Sprays. I started by spraying blue, yellow and green ink onto glossy card, spritzed with water and also spritzed another glossy card. I squished the two pieces of card together.
I had so much fun with this technique. Both of these cards are the "original" sprays, I have several "ghost" copies, every single one of them is different.
Both silhouette inamges are our very own Dina (aka Dini). I am covered in ink (I ignored the advice to wear gloves), I am yet to make these into actual cards, I will do that as soon as everything is dry.
Thank you for looking. I hope you are enjoying HYCCT month. For this challenge and all the challenges to date, click here .

Beautiful bright happy backgrounds, Susie, and I love your garden borders. Think I'll have to check indidoblu out! And somehow can I say I'm not surprised at all to hear that you ignored the gloves suggestion, LOL. I'm amazed that for once I actually took it on board .

OMG Susie, you sure can take a technique and ramp it up several notches. You have such a great sense of design which shows in the stamps, colors, and layout that you use. That tree silhouette is amazig...I have never seen it. Absolutely stunning creations.

Well goodness -- I can't decide if I like this color scheme or the hot pink version better! Both seem equally as fun and vibrant! I am going to have to try using some of those sprays next time instead of reinkers -- what a fun spin on this challenge! :-)

Susie, both smooshes are beautiful and so perfect as backgrounds for your super silhouette images. I had so much fun with this technique, too - so easy and such dramatic results.
