This card was created for a couple challenges but I also wanted to share this smooshing technique with Catherine Pooler Ink, one of my favorite brands of ink. It reacts to water, very much like distress ink, in case you didn't know! Smooshing is a technique where you press your watercolor paper into water spritzed ink on a craft mat. It is important that you use an ink that reacts to water and that you also use watercolor paper or mixed media paper. Also, make sure you work with one color at a time and dry in between colors, to avoide a muddy look. Give it a try! I also used my Altenew watercolors to color the leaves and a few of the blooms. The stamp is from Unity stamps June 2018 sentiment kit. (click product links below for more info) One can never have too many encouraging cards, don't you agree? Have a lovely day! (one last tip, to get the splattered water effect, once panel is dry, spritz water into your hand and fling it onto your panel. Blot with a paper towel.)
