HLS March CAS Challenge

 Hey everyone! It's March... whaaaat? Time for a new challenge over at Happy Little Stampers CAS challenge.

I had many ideas for what I was going to do for this challenge and most of those ideas went in the bin. I ended up having fun with some distress inks and acetate. 

I used the ink smooshing with acetate technique. I rubbed some distress ink on some acetate (or you can use plastic sleeve, plastic that your stamps/dies come in, etc.), used some water to spread the ink around, then smooshed it on to my watercolour paper. I dried in between smooshes and changed colours as well.

I would like to enter my card over at the following challenges -

Crafter's Cafe (Make your own Background), Use your Stuff (Birthday), Die Cut Divas (Birthday), Love to Craft (Anything Goes)
