Today’s Crafty Collaborations Monochromatic Insta Hop features Crushed Curry. It’s only lately that I have grown to love this colour. I used to find it too bright but now I’m loving the vibrancy of this colour and it’s beautiful shade of yellow.
This card started with a die cut circle from Fluid 100 Cardstock. On this, I I ink smooshed the background.
HOW TO CREATE AN INK SMOOSHED BACKGROUND
- Pat your ink pad on a piece of acetate (I use the backing for the photopolymer stamps)
- Spritz the ink with water
- Curve the acetate and work the centre on the Fluid 100 Cardstock
- Ink, spritz and repeat the process, moving the acetate around
- Leaving it to dry between applications will create dark puddles and add texture
For added texture, I ink smooshed Black Memento ink on the right hand side. Once dry, I stamped the lined image and splattered some dots with the Dark Black Stampin’ Blend Combo.
On top of all this I also added some splatters using White Kraft ink with a Water Painter which added some lovely contrast against the Crushed Curry.
The flowers were watcercoloured in Crushed Curry ink refill and some shading was added on the leaves in Smoky Slate. A Paper Butterfly Accent embellished with a Sparkle Gem adds a pretty finishing touch to this card.
