I tried Susie's smash and spritz (?? I hope that's the official name) technique for coloring of this girl. I smooshed distress inks on a foil sheet and then spritzed with water. Using an aquabrush I picked up the "paint" to color. Fun!

What an adorable card, and so cleaver to use Susie's bkg technique on a smaller area lie the dress. I love the large dot ef bkg and the terrificcolor combo. The green "ric-rak" style line is the perfect accent.

I think I should try this technique. I love the soft quality of the colors. Cute image!

Darling image, great using the Susie Australia smash and spritz technique. (I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that we all call it Susie's technique. It gets me smiling.) Love the large dot EF you used on this, it is so perfect for this card.

Darling card, Polly. Your little girl's dress looks terrific with the technique that you used. The CC colors worked so well with your design. Kathleen will be so tickled to see her gift "in action".
