Birthday card with Smooch Swirls

The card I'm sharing with you today is a technique that I learned at a make and take last month.

The background is created using the product called "Smooch" by Clearsnap. You need a tin foil type pie plate, the instructor warned us not to use one of our good pie plates as the clean up it not easy. You put a couple of inches of water in the pie plate. Then you place a drop of a couple of different colours of smooch on the top of the water. Then you take the last colour you want to use and swirl it on the surface of the water. You now take a piece of glossy finish CS (not photo paper) cut to the approximate size you want to use and submerse it, glossy side down, in the water. After lifting it out you turn it over and you have your masterpiece. You can either lay it aside to dry or use your heat gun to dry it quicker.  It really is amazing the different effects you get by mixing your colours. This particular one was done with pumpkin, taffy, kiwi and then swirled with molasses. To finish off this card I used a dragon fly stamped on vellum and then cut out and popped up on dimensionals. The piece across the bottom is some Tim Holtz tissue that is pleated. The little flower is attached to a piece of brown twine double on itself and attached to the card front before adhering it to the folded card base. 
I have sent this particular card off to a card making friend of mine who's having a birthday this month.
Thanks for dropping by,
