Sometimes I struggle to keep things “simple.”

In life and in card-making 🙂

When I saw this week’s Friday Mashup, I had to play along.

Especially when I saw Cindy’s Card – she is the queen of clean and simple and beautiful card-making.  (Be sure to check out her site to see more of her creative, beautiful designs:  CindyLeeBeeDesigns)

I couldn’t resist trying the technique (blowing ink through a straw), and in the end, realized my card is not only inspired by Cindy, but ended up looking almost like it.

This technique reminds me of childhood spin-art and the recent melted crayon art trend.  Sometime it’s fun to just see what will happen.

I embossed the “hello” from the SU My Friend Stamp Set in black on vellum, which I “randomly” stitched onto the card.

Here is the FM179 challenge:  Create a project using the Ink Blowing Technique and the colors Bermuda Bay, Crushed Curry and Basic Black.

A simple Hello My Friends.

Cheers & Hugs,

Jodi
