Ink Smooshing Technique

August 9, 2018 by Heather Holbrook

Ink Smooshing Technique

Channin added some wonderful foliage to a large tree stamp using an ink smooshing technique. By placing Distress Ink and water on acetate she was able to control her color and placement for a great realistic look. This idea would be fun for different seasons, especially fall tree images by just changing up the ink colors.

Visit the Simon Says Stamp blog and watch her tutorial video.
