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!
