JUGS #75 Acrylic Smash Technique




Hello!

I'm a little late with my post this weekend but alas I have come through with my card finally!  Between work and running around with the kiddos today let's just say it has taken me all day to complete it!   This is such a fun technique too!  I used my Birthday Bash Sentiments from PTI for this by placing them randomly onto a 2x3 acrylic block and stamping the clear card stock with black Staz On ink and then using a Q-tip I splashed color from my Adirondack dabber in aqua onto the back of my clear card stock.  I only own two acrylic paints in white and aqua so my colors were very limited but I like how it came out anyway!
