I chose the word prompt of 'FLIGHT' for my host month at CAS Mix Up and we're half way through so there's still time to add your make into the gallery!
(It's my birthday today too so it would be a lovely pressie if you fill our gallery with gorgeousness!
Followers of my blog will have seen this sentiment before because I love it!
I black heat embossed the feathers and the emerging birds first.
Smooshed Twisted Citron and Salty Ocean Oxides onto a piece of acetate and then simply pressed the acetate sheet down onto the card where I wanted it.
I like being able to see where I am putting the colours - if I do random smooshing direct to my card when I turn it over it's normally a muddy mess!
Sentiment also black heat embossed.
Please pop in on the rest of my lovely teamies!
Have a lovely day - I am planning on eating cake - lots of it!🍰🍰🎂

Certainly a brilliant sentiment and such a lovely card as well. Handy tip about using acetate for the smooshing!
That's such a gorgeous card Viv and I love the touch of colour that you've used in the background, simply beautiful x
Wow, Viv! I love this! so classy and Elegant!
Love your smooshed watercolored background for your wonderful birds flying out of the feather...so cool! Your sentiment is perfect for your image. TFS your beauty and for hosting a wonderful challenge, my friend. Love and Hugs, Nancy.
Happy birthday, Viv! Only a day late. I think that's the most interesting feather and birds stamp, and certainly true words. The smooshy background is one of my favorites to create, and in my favorite color combo, too. Really love this!
Happy Birthday Viv!! LOVE that beautiful image of the feather and emerging birds. So cool! Gorgeous with the acetate smooshed colours. This has been such a fun challenge. Thanks for hosting! xx
Such a gorgeous card Viv and a very Happy belated Birthday to you too. I hope you had a wonderful sun filled day.

Even if I'm late, the birthday wishes for you are heartfelt. I hope your day was wonderful. This feather is so realistic. I like the acetate smooshing too and yours look great.
What a wonderful image, Viv! And a perfect sentiment! Wish I could have joined you for cake, my friend!
What a fabulous card, love the words. The smooshed background looks fab.
Belated birthday wishes too, hope you had a fantastic day xx
I'm a little late Viv but Happy Birthday nonetheless! I hope you had a wonderful day with more cake than you could shake a stick at!! What a beautiful image you used for your card and I love your precision smooshing for the background! Vicky x
Thanks for the tip about water colouring with the acetate Viv x. Such a beautiful card with great stamping and a wonderful sentiment. I hope you ate lots of cake? x.
Wonderful card, Viv, and your tip is quite the trick! I too struggle with smooshing, but acetate seems to help and still have some control. OK I know I'm late to the game, but did I mention I just added my card to the gallery, and a bit of smooshing?!
Happy belated Birthday Viv, love your card and it's perfect sentiment.
Belated birthday wishes!! Sorry I'm late....
Terrific creation and so very lovely Viv, I've never seen that sentiment before and it's just perfect!
I don't know what's happened to the time recently, but realise I have missed so many of your posts, so rather belatedly here I am, and this feather and birds with that super sentiment immediately jumped out at me as I was scrolling through. I love the blue and green inked background, and it was also your birthday which I sadly missed at the time, so hope you had a lovely day Viv. x
