Ink smoosh crafting

Today I played with my favourite technique – ink smooshing and I made four cards.

First one is for:

I ink smooshed the Kaleidacolor ‘Desert heat’ ink pad on a scallop edge panel and added a sentiment from The Ton ‘ Easy Expressions: Birthday’.

Isn’t this lovely and sunny?

My second card is for:

I flipped the sketch on it’s side and moved the sentiment to the top. I ink smooshed my Kaleidacolor ‘Vineyard’ ink pad on a scallop edge panel and then stamped the field of poppies from the Stampin Up ‘Painted Poppy’ stamp set and added a sentiment from The Ton ‘Simply Birthdays’ digital set.

I love how these colours look like the grass and a purple setting sky.

My third card is for CASology #369 – Wind.

I ink smooshed my Kaleidacolor ‘Denim’ ink pad on a watercolour panel and then added my die cut windsurfer. and another sentiment from the Ton digital birthday sentiment set.

You certainly need wind to ride a windsurfer – right?!

My last card is for the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers #161 – I is for Ink.

For this card, I ink smooshed a few Catherine Pooler Design inks in ‘It’s a Girl’, ‘Be Mine’ and “Rose Petal’ on a watercolour panel. I think stamped the unicorn from CAS-ual Fridays ‘ Be a unicorn’ and the sentiment from The Ink Road ‘Zero fucks’.

Well, that’s it for today. Thanks for looking and enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Hey there! I’m a card-making enthusiast with a passion for creativity that knows no bounds. Currently, I’m fortunate to be a part of four fantastic international card design teams, where I get to explore my craft and connect with fellow artists from all corners of the globe. It’s amazing how the world of card making can bring people together, and I’m constantly inspired by the diversity of styles and ideas that come my way. Beyond my card-making adventures, I lead a pretty busy life in the learning and development field, where I work full time as a Learning Lead. I thrive on helping others grow and reach their full potential, and it’s a role that keeps me on my toes and constantly learning. When I’m not immersed in the world of work or crafting, you can find me on the netball court, coaching and sharing my love for the game with a bunch of amazing individuals. So, whether I’m crafting, guiding professional development, or coaching on the court, I’m all about embracing lifes colorful and creative possibilities! Thanks for stopping by my corner of the web, and I hope you enjoy exploring my card creations and more.

    1. Tx for stopping by and commenting Mary – I’m not a SN member anymore, found myself too busy with being on 4 design teams and working full time. Hope you’ve been well.
