Fun Watercolor Background Technique: Smooshing

8/3/2020

I have another watercolor technique to share with you today - smooshing! It's as fun as the name. In this short video, I shared how I did this technique. Don't worry - it's less messy than it looks! So, on y go! Let's get stamping.
BONUS: Click to check out my other blog post with an additional sample that I made with one of the backgrounds created in the video.

For each of these cards, I created the background on Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper and used Granny Apple Green and Pacific Point re-inkers. 

My first sample uses the Forever Fern stamp set and dies. After stamping the leaves in Shaded Spruce and Night of Navy ink, I sent over them with a Water Painter to pull the color through the whole leaf. The Granny Apple Green card base is embossed with the Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder.
My second sample uses the Rooted in Nature stamp set. I added a few branches at the top with Night of Navy ink. I stamped the greeting with Pacific Point ink and cut it into three pieces. I mounted the pieces to the front with Mini Stampin' Dimensionals. The Pacific Point card front is embossed with the Brick & Mortar 3D embossing folder.

For the last card, I stamped the stripes from the Pattern Play stamp set with Shaded Spruce ink. I attached a piece of Foam Adhesive Sheet to a piece of Granny Apple Green cardstock. I cut the letters using the Playful Alphabet and then adhered the negative image to my card front. The smooshed backgound is mounted on Shaded Spruce and Granny Apple Green cardstocks.
