Ink smooshing for a fun idea
Hello everyone – if you love techniques then today’s Ink smooshing for a fun idea is a great one to try!
I was inspired by a card I saw online and wanted to make my version.
Today’s Project
Sometimes you are inspired by a card and then want to make it your own. I saw an idea that used a die I did not have and decided to use what I have and add an interesting background. I shared this card in a Facebook Live you can see here.
Once I had the background done I added the make-shift trellis idea and the butterflies. Finished it off with some gold half back pearls.
Not sure about ink smooshing, here is an idea that uses leftover ink to make background that is easy. This is a different watercolor background that is also easy to do.
