A LITTLE 'SMOOSH' AND WASHI TAPE

Hello & Welcome

We have a little 'smooshing technique' for you today.  Not everyone's cup of tea I know,  but I think it's a great background that you can make quickly and one that fits the bill for the males in your life, with a change of colour inks!

Three cards, same inks on all and three very different backgrounds!

I also think using this technique is a good background for the males in your life, although you may want to use different colour tones! lol 

Both cards are a white, top folding card with a smaller panel in dark brown (the remains of the brown card from yesterday's post)

• I glued the brown panel onto the card base then started to create the 'smooshing technique on the top white panels

• I used the same 3 distress inks, rubbed the inks onto my craft mat and spritz them with water

• Using a piece of acetate I picked up the 'victorian velvet' ink then applied it to the card base.  Dried the acetate and craft mat and dried the inked card with my heat tool.  I repeated the same steps again with the broken china and then the fossilized amber

• A piece of washi tape was added to the centre of the card then the panel was ready to adhere to the base card

• I applied the same technique to the first card, the only difference is I matted and layered different coloured card stock onto the back of the top panel

By applying different strokes to the card will give you a different background altogether and a narrow frame added will also give a different appearance 

I have made a video of the bottom card but YouTube is preventing me uploading it on Poppyfield Card Craft's Channel!!
