Smooched Background



Smooched Background
Cover your work surface with several layers of newsprint or kraft paper. Place one piece of card-stock on top of your newsprint. Squirt a generous amount of paint on the card-stock, randomly or in a pattern. Place another piece of card-stock on top of the first, folding up one corner about an inch (you will use this to move the pieces around, spreading the paint.)
Smooch the pieces together. You could use a roller, but I just use my hands and press down firmly. 
Holding the corner, wiggle the two pieces in opposite directions until the card stock pieces are covered completely. The "wiggle" makes the design unique. 
Option: add glitter to paint while its still wet. 
Place on a protected surface to dry overnight.
Finishing : The image was stamped and watercolor. For You was made with my Cricut tool and applied to the smooched background.
