Hello and welcome to my blog. Lately, I have been adding inspirational art to my art journal. It is so relaxing and something other than a card. My little art journal includes watercolor pages inside. I get to explore different techniques in the small 4" x 4" pages. Today, I am using ink smooshing with this peaceful stamp scene from the June 2025 Uniquely Unity stamp kit called Enduring Connection. See the project supply list below.
Helpful Tips:
1. Select a page in a watercolor art journal or trim a card background panel using watercolor cardstock. I used a 4” x 4” art journal with watercolor pages.
2. Using the smooth side of watercolor cardstock, stamp the girl and cat scene plus a sentiment using black waterproof ink.
3. Onto a watercolor journal page, add watercolor in three colors using ink smooshing. I used leftover plastic packaging to add dye ink pad colors & water to ink smoosh.
4. Heat set or leave out to dry completely.
5. Use the same color combination to watercolor the girl scene using watercolor with a brush. Then heat set.
6. Fussy cut the girl panel and a sentiment. I used part of a sentiment.
7. Add double-sided extra tacky tape behind the girl and sentiment panels.
8. Adhere and layer the panels to the journal page or card front.
