You can watch the video HERE as you can see she does all the smooshing of her color first and then stamps here image over it, and that is how I did this first one. I used Distress inks that I watered down on my palette for the cage, flower and leaves and the oxide ink for the butterfly.
Hot off the press - Mystic Garden stamp set and Black Jewel stickers
Paper smooches - Happy Birthday sentiment
Distress inks - Abandoned coral, Hickory smoke, Mowed Lawn
Distress Oxide - Scattered Straw
PPD - Distressed Edge Rectangle
The girls in the group were talking that they are going to try stamping first and then smooshing the ink on which to me sounded a lot easier so I decided to try another card using the same stamp set doing the technique that way. I added a few splatters of some yellow sparkle marker that I watered down for the background.
Hot off the press - Mystic Garden stamp set
Distress Oxide - Faded Jeans
BasicGrey - Periphery paper
Spectrum noir - Sunshine yellow sparkle pen
Recollections - lace on a roll
Cuttlebug - corner die cuts
Hope you are all staying well,
Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by, let me know if you decide to try this technique!

Hi, Connie! Your combination of stickers and stamps is lovely, especially with the black and white background. Such an intriguing, pretty frame! Great idea with the splattered-smooshed background on the second creation! hugs, de
Oh yes I watched her video the last time you shared it, pretty cool and clever! Your cards came out beautifully! Love the collage style look! And that background die cut is fantastic, never saw it before!
You did a GREAT job on both cards Connie! I tried this technique the other day but I don't think my stamp set was the right one to use ... will give it a go another time because I really like the look! Great inspiration ... thanks! Stay healthy!

Well, this is an interesting technique! I have to say it gives a really pretty result, and the stamp set is gorgeous. Your cards are beautiful, Connie!
Love your smooshed cards, I’ve not tried that technique before. The distressed die you used looks fab too, not seen that one before!
