Ink smooshing a Background | Altenew Inspiration Challenge Jan ’21

Hey Crafty People

Today I’m sharing my entry to this month’s inspiration challenge over at Altenew.

I struggled a little to choose colours that were close to the colour scheme as none of my Altenew inks or watercolours/markers worked quite right. So I kind of mixed a number of elements to get something that I was happy with!

I started by ink smooshing a mixture of Rubellite and Pink Diamond onto an a2 panel of Distress Watercolour. Once I was happy with that I set it aside to dry whilst I die cut my other elements.

I used several of the dies from Just Leaves to cut both some warm grey cardstock and some vellum. I liked the addition of Vellum, as it adds that touch of snow from the inspiration photograph into the design.

Once the ink smooshed panel was dry, I ran it through my die machine with the Dotted Line debossing die and cut it in half to make my two cards.

I matted the two panels onto white and grey cardstock respectively. I also cut the thanks sentiment and matched up the letters and a background for each cards.


To bring in that hot pink, I used a Copic marker to colour in a vellum leaf for one card and the letters for my sentiment on the other card.

I popped each layer up on foam tape for lots of dimension

Thank you for stopping by today, if you’re new here I’d love it if you could follow my blog and maybe even check out some of my other social media links.
