Ink Smooshing Feature Image Card

I love ink smooshing with Distress inks!  Another stamp set that I haven’t played with yet is this Altenew Bottleful Of…

All the products I used to create these cards are listed and linked at the bottom of this post.  All the supplies are available now over at our online shop

Green Card

Stamping Onto Textured Card

• All the cards are on watercolour cardstock.
• I stamped the bottle outline with black ink and the solid bottle with Forest Glades ink three times to make three bottles.
• Then stamping the solid label in Tumbled Glass ink and fussy cut.
• I then stamped the words “kindness” “cheers” and “sunshine” onto the oval labels and use some foam tape to adhere them to the bottles.
• Trimming this piece to 4 ½” (the width is 3 ¾”) and glued it onto a mat of green cardstock.
• Just above the watercolour piece I stamped “sending you a bottleful of” and added three dots with a white gel pen.
• This is a standard 4 ¼” x 5 ½” sized top folding card.

Ink Smooshed Background

• To create this beautiful yellow inky background, I smooshed some Squeezed Lemonade and Mustard Seed distress inks onto my craft mat.
• Sprayed some water to get the ink moving and push my watercolour cardstock down into this lovely colour.
• I smooshed and moved the watercolour card so that the whole card was covered in ink and let this dry.
• There aren’t dies available for this stamp set, so I made a mask of the bottle outline, and cut it out.
• Stamped the middle bottle first then covered this with the mask, so I could stamp the two other bottles.
• While I had the mask in place I also stamped the decorative label.
• Inside the label on the first bottle, I stamped the sentiment “sweet love” and stamped the rest of the sentiment “you are a bottleful of” onto a small watercolour strip and cut a banner edge.
• This is then adhered to a standard A2 top folding card base.
