Welcome to this month's Around the World on Wednesday Blog Hop! Each month, a group of demonstrators from all over the world create projects based on that month's theme. You will be able to hop around below to see all the wonderful inspiration!
This month, the theme is a Technique Challenge using the Watercolour Smoosh technique!
I chose to give you a sneak peek of a brand new stamp set coming January 4th in the January - April 2024 Mini Catalogue! This is called Quiet Reflection and is inspired by Million Sales Achiever, Sarah Schueler! I think it's a beautiful representation of trees reflected in water.
The background is where the Watercolour Smoosh technique comes into play. I used a Clear Block E and scribbled different ink colours with our Stampin' Write Markers in the order shown in the photo above. I then used our Stampin' Spritzer to spray water on the block. I then "smooshed" a piece of Basic White cardstock onto the block to create the watercolour background. You can let it dry naturally or use a Heat Tool to speed up the drying process.
I stamped the image and sentiment in Starry Sky ink and then adhered the white piece to a Starry Sky cardstock layer. I then wrapped some Starry Sky & White Baker's Twine around the layer and tied it in a bow. I mounted this to a Highland Heather card base using Stampin' Dimensionals.

The card layers really bring out the various colours of the smooshed panel -which is just so wonderfully moody. Great use of the technique.
