I've been experimenting with new techniques from one of my Technique Junkies CDs.  The one on this card is Marbled Smooch from CD #9 and creates beautiful backgrounds.  This one has pink and green marbling and turned out a little light so may be a bit hard to see here.

Ink: Regal Rose, Rose Red, Wild Wasabi, Garden Green Stampin' Write markers; Taffy and Green Apple Smooch Pearlized Accent Ink

This card was inspired by one I saw on Shelli Gardner's blog. I love the new In Colors and used two of them on this card.  I also love the Elegant Bird Bigz die!  The bigz dies are able to cut so many different materials that the possible projects with it seem endless!  I can't wait to try some of the ideas I have for this one.
