Smooshing

Howdy Crafters ~ I have been Smooshing!

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!

Hinged Mini Tri-Fold Journal

Howdy Crafters - Yesterday I spent some time watching several videos on You Tube. I viewed several Distress Ink Techniques, and the results lead me to created several tags, backgrounds, and even flowers using Distress Inks and Stains. Let's face it - I got messy!!

Secondly, I watched 2 videos on how to make a Tri-Fold Envelope Mini Journal. I was introduced to this process by Cheryl Stark Grungy Envelop Portfolio  Click HERE at the Facebook Page for TLC - Printables for Your Junk Journals. The other was by Gail Agostinelli - Click HERE

I grabbed some ideas from both videos- threw in some of my own,  and here is my finished project.   There are 11 pages and descriptions: 3 Cream Colored Envelops, ATG, Scotch White Glue, Misti, Stamping, Tags, Micron Pen, Distress Inks, Patterned Cardstock, Punch, Die, Cuttlebug, Cropadile
