Just Smashing!

NOTE to my followers: I will be MIA for a couple of weeks. My daughter is back from her assignment in Germany and is coming home for a week as she prepares for her deployment to Afghanistan - I will then be going to DC to help her finalize her plans and will then drive her car back here once she leaves. I want to spend every possible free moment with her before she goes so I hope y'all understand and check back on me soon. Here's a quick post for the JUGS.   Try it--- You'll Like it!

Good morning - it's a JUGS Saturday - are you ready for a fun technique? Today's challenge is to use the acrylic smash technique which you can find HERE from SCS.

I had never tried this technique before and, although I used to do a lot of tole painting, I could not find my old acrylic paints. I had one bottle of cream on hand so I simply added a few drops of re-inker ink to a small pool of acrylic, stirred it up and sponged it on my acetate layer.

Here's my sunrise thank you...

I used a light pink, soft yellow and a pale purple for my three colors. I had stamped my acetate with a few pieces from the Tropical Flowers set from Gina K. The rest was just a simple design - a little embossing, a couple of prima flowers and a few purple pearls.  I really liked this technique and will surely use it again!

Please check out the rest of the team's creations and I will "see" you soon.
