Celebrating You!

Hello there! Today I'm sharing a card I created using the current sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches...and a new (to me) technique called "swinking" ;)

Here's the sketch:

...and here's my card:

I used the "swinking" technique (swiping an ink pad directly onto the paper) to create the two vertical swooshes behind the flowers. This is such a fun technique, and there are lots of ways to swink!!! My friend, Ardyth, has a great video showing lots of examples. You can find a link to the video in her blog post HERE.

Hope you're having a lovely weekend!

Thanks for stopping by!
