Smooshed

Hi.  I wanted to share a quick project I made for Papertrey Ink's Make it Monday Challenge.  Each submission must use the 'smooshing' technique in order to qualify for the chance to win a $25 gift card.


Luckily, one of the DT leaders offers a great tutorial on 'smooshing' because I had never heard of this term before.  To sum it up, ink a sheet of acetate with a variety of colors, spritz with a bit of water, roll the droplets around until the colors collide, and then 'smoosh' a piece of paper against the results.  It's pretty fun but be careful when rolling the water around on the acetate if you craft in a carpeted room...the water got away from me and I have a lovely shade of Picked Raspberry on my floor!


I used PTI's stitched tag die and covered with vellum to soften up the look.  I 'smooshed' the heart in the same colors and left uncovered.

Thanks for looking!
