Ink Smooshing Technique w/ a Block

August 21, 2020 by Heather Holbrook

Ink Smooshing Technique w/ a Block

I love the ink smooshing technique, it’s a fun and easy way to add color to your card backgrounds. Normally you get a random pattern with this technique but Mindy used a large clear stamping block which have her a uniform rectangle. She inked up the block with water reactive inks, spritzed a bit of water and then “stamped” her background, so colorful!

Visit the Mindy Eggen blog for a tutorial.
