Hello there and welcome back to Day 2 of my GIU Week!
For my second day I've decided to try my hat at some ink smooshing! I love the effect ink smooshing gives and how easy it is to create a background for any card!
For these backgrounds I used my Tombow Art Markers on an acrylic block spritzed with some water. I grabbed a piece of watercolor paper (grabbed mine from the March 2021 Whit Kit) and just smooshed it on top of the wet ink! Move it around the wet colors until you get the desired effect!
These are the "finished" product! Used the smooshed backgrounds!
These are the "before" backgrounds! Before I transformed them with Unity goodness!
Give ink smooshing a try! Would love to see what combinations you can come up with! Any ink at should work.....some may not "flow" as well, but just keep trying and see what happens! It's cool to see the finished product!
Don't forget to comment on my posts every day for a chance to win one of two $20 Unity Stamp Company gift credits!!
Thanks for stopping by and I'll be back tomorrow!
