Ink Smooshing with Distress Oxides and a Single Stamp Set

If you’ve been watching me create for a while, then you know I love to ink smoosh with Distress inks. It’s my “go to” for fast, easy, and beautiful backgrounds. I paired an inky background with a beautiful stamp set to make this quick friendship card. Any water-based color medium will work, even watercolor paint if you’d like. Have fun squishing those colors around! 😃 … Continue reading Ink Smooshing with Distress Oxides and a Single Stamp Set

Birthday, Embossed, Just Because, Watercolor

Abstract Watercolor Backgrounds

Happy Birthday and “just because” cards are super important to have on hand. Plus, they’re a very convenient excuse to make some cards… am I right? These cards were done using Daniel Smith watercolor paints (my personal favorite), some low tack washi tape, a border sized embossing folder, a few random thin metal dies, some embossing powder, and some bling. I just threw them together in … Continue reading Abstract Watercolor Backgrounds
