I had so much fun making my card for this week's inspiration challenge ... the works of Mizue Hirano. I was inspired by the packaging she did for a collection of Mary's Chocolates.
The design reminded me of coffee mug rings, so I watered down some Strawberry Daiquiri Memories Mists and dipped my coffee mug into it and started making circles on water color paper. Before it dried, I smeared it slightly to give a softer effect.
Next I dipped the bottom of a spray bottle in the Tangerine Ink pad to make hte orange circles. I painted in the circles using Angel Wings Shimmerz Paint and diluted Orange Juice Memories Mists. I dipped the top of a bottle of stamp cleaner into a Yellow Cadmium ink pad to make the smaller yellow circles. Finally, the swirled circle design from Paper Salon was stamped in rouge ink.
The sentiment is a sticker mounted on pink Bazzill Bling with a couple of orange adhesive gems.

So totally and uniquely creative! What a fabulous way to "stamp".... just love the way you used "not the usual" things to make this most unusual and lovely card!
