Ink Smooshing with Purrfect Digi Stamps

Hello lovely peeps

This is another one of the cards I had published in Creative Stamping magazine, made with the Purrfect set from Simply Sweet Stamps.

I used the ink smooshing technique for this one. First I dabbed Wilted Violet and Picked Raspberry Distress Oxides onto my craft mat and spritzed them with water before dragging an A5 piece of 160gsm cartridge paper through the ink. I dried and repeated the process a couple of times to build up interest.

After drying and flattening the paper I printed some of the cats onto it and then cut them out (chopping off the whiskers and tails). I coloured in the spots on the small cat with some more Picked Raspberry DO.
