Here is Helen Gullet's Technique
Smooshing technique is really easy and fun. You simply add the ink on the craft mat and spray with water. After that, dip your paper in the color. I always dry the color on the paper for each time adding the color. Once I like the blending on the paper, I spray some water on it, let it sit for couple seconds, then I dab it off with paper towel. This step gives the background extra texture look to it.
I used my craft mat with Distress inks and sprayed water - then ran my paper through the mess on the mat - oh my goodness - I had to STOP there - I don't know about you but I think I have a drive through the Woods background here - I see a bit of clearing and TREES!!
After drying, my next step was to place the finished cardstock in my Misti and Stamp - I am using my new stamp set from Joy Clair ~ Refuel My Soul - Versafine Black Ink
The Cuttlebug was used for Lawn Fawns Stitched rectangle die for the card base
I am posting more cards with this technique soon - thanks for stopping by!
