A card and a sprout salad

Hey all, I hope all are doing great. I am bit demotivated nowadays, I am crafting but not really into it...or don't feel like it...I hope the feeling is short-term.
I started this card yesterday night and finished it this morning. It is made using the smooshing technique. I had used distress inks - festive berries, and squeezed lemonade to get my background. Then I used the flowers from Mama Elephant - freestyle bloom to stamp and heat embossed in clear and gold embossing powder, the remaining flowers are just stamped in the background. The sentiment is from HLS - mix mash. A few sequins to finish off, used foam adhesive to add the front panel.
I like how it looks despite being the mojo missing, I managed to make a card. There a couple more to share.

Before I go here is a salad which I wanted to share, this is made using home sprouted small black chickpeas. Sprouts are extremely healthy, loaded with vitamins and minerals. I make many different types of sprouts at home using dry grains. I usually fry the sprouts in a drop of oil for 2 minutes, to remove the raw flavor.You can add any veggies you wish to, and add any dressing. I use fresh lime and extra virgin olive oil with a dash of red chili powder and salt to add the flavor. If you need tips on how to do sprouting, let me know and I will post a step by step :D


Thank you for stopping by, I really appreciate your kind  feedback :) Have a great day!
