Smooshing Technique Two Ways - Karen Hadler Stamping Bees

Create your own gorgeous backgrounds with this simple but a little messy technique.

Four greeting cards with smooshed backgrounds — Loving the simplicity of the background and the pop of colour

Creating your own background is so much fun and with this technique you achieve something beautiful and different every time! There is a couple of ways to do this technique one has more control over where the colour goes than the other so I would love to share with you the Smooshing Technique Two Ways.

For this card I have used the Smooshing Technique where you do not have as much control over where the colours go. The ink is placed on a block with the re-inkers, spritzed then the card placed on top. It certainly creates a smooth beautiful look. This one I thought looked like a gorgeous sunset so I punched out the Dragonflies in black from the Dragonfly Garden Bundle.

Sending a card instead of a text. card with smooshed red and orange background with Dragon Flys — The colours are blended together wonderfully and create a sunset.

Happiest Birthday Wishes Card with a green smooshed background and leaves. — The textured green background creates a plant like feel.

Smooshing Technique Two is where you dab some Ink from your Ink pad onto a Window sheet. Spritzing and adding 1 colour at a time.
This certainly gives you more control over where the colour goes and you can create some stunning texture.
To complete this card I used the Artfully Layered Bundle.

In the Video I share with you both Smooshing Techniques.
