Happy Monday!
Another card for the 30 Day Coloring Challenge.
Today, Ardyth and I, are colouring the brand new Essentials by Ellen Leading Lady Dogs set.
I started by smooshing the background with Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide Ink. The leading lady and her puppies were coloured with Copic markers. I prepared a short video below making my card, I will put a hyperspeed video on IG but the version below is slower so you can see my mistakes!
I have been asked lately if I could demonstrate how I make smooshed backgrounds. I am no expert, but in the video you will see that I don't do anything amazing. I usually use Bristol Smooth cardstock or watercolour paper. What I can say is that I don't add a lot of water to my ink on my craft mat and that I usually try to make just one quick pass through the ink. If you leave it too long it almost wants to stick to the mat and definitely gets very saturated. If I am going to add more ink or other colours, I dry the panel in between each layer I did a few quick passes on my card front today. The sentiment is from the Leading Lady Cozy Lady lady stamp set.
