Ink Smooshed Thinking of You

The Challenge for the SSSFlickrChallenge#28 is to use Embossed Resist. So many options within that technique! I tried my hand at some "Ink Smooshing." I used to avoid anything "messy," but this technique is growing on me! Using acetate to transfer the ink gives you a little more control. I tried a few different twists... doing all 3 ink colors at once on my craft mat, vs one at a time without drying each color, vs drying each color before applying the next. The one laying flat was on normal CS, whereas the others were on watercolor paper. I used very little water on the one on regular CS, so it's much bolder.

 

Also entering this into the SSS Monday Challenge as Ink Smooshing MIGHT be moving toward a favorite technique. And lastly, entering into the SSS Wednesday Challenge of Die Crazy with the heart accents and the stitched rectangle dies.
