Another Smoosh Technique

When I posted my Merry Monday card with the smoosh technique,
my friend Marybeth told me that Make It Monday
at Papertrey Ink was doing "smoosh" this week.

I went over and watched Betsy's video
and gave it a try.


It was fun!

I used half of a broken stamp case instead of a piece of acetate
and "smooshed" ink spots in the center of it.

Then I spritzed with water and
"smooshed" the paper on the ink.
(I found that the Neena Solar White worked well.)

That's all there is to the background.

I stamped a flower and sentiment 
and the design was done.

Of course I'm going to enter this in the
WATERCOLOR SMOOSHING

Also

GIRL POWER
(Make a card for a girl)

I'm so glad you stopped by.

Enjoy!

  9. The smooshed look is very nice. I like the happy bright colors and how they blended a bit but didn't get wonky.
