Technique:  Smack and Smoosh (I didn’t name it in the video but I thought this is a fun name to call itJ)
 
Directions:

Place a piece of cardboard over your work surface.  Use the Bermuda Bay Stampin’ Write marker to scribble ink onto the acrylic block.  Spritz with water and smack it onto one of the 4: x 5 ¼” pieces of Basic White turning and smooshing the wet ink onto the cardstock.  Repeat this process with the Melon Mambo and Crushed Curry Stampin’ Write markers until the cardstock is covered with color ( Be sure to clean the block before each application of the marker so the colors don’t get muddied).  Set the piece aside to dry or dry with a heat tool being careful not to burn the paper.  Ink the large vine image with Melon Mambo ink and stamp it around the edges of the card front.  Clean the stamp and ink it with Bermuda Bay ink and stamp it onto the ½” x 5 ¼” piece of Bermuda Bay Cardstock.  Adhere the Bermuda Bay strip of cardstock to the remaining 4” x 5 ¼” piece of Basic White cardstock and then adhere this piece to the inside of the card.  Use Melon Mambo ink to stamp the label image onto the 1” x 4 ½” piece of Basic White Cardstock.  Stamp the sentiment onto the label image using Melon Mambo ink and positioning it toward the left side of the label.  Use the corresponding label die in the Flowering Vine Dies to cut out the label.  Use the Dark Bermuda Bay Blends to line the edge of the label.  Being sure the “Smack and Smooshed” piece of cardstock is now dry, cut a matching piece of Adhesive sheet and adhere it to the back of the cardstock.  Cut the cardstock using the rectangular die from the Flowering Vine Dies.  Remove the backing from the Adhesive sheet and adhere the die cut piece to the 3” x 4 ¼” piece of Basic White cardstock.  Adhere the label containing the sentiment to the lower right corner of this piece, trimming it flush with the right side (see photo).  Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere this piece to the 3 1/8” x 4 1/8” piece of Bermuda Bay cardstock.  Adhere this piece to the card front.  Decorate using the Opal Rounds embellishments then send to someone who could use some kind thoughts!
