Ink Smooshing with Mica Sprays

Hello! Today I have a fun project using Mica Sprays for Ink Smooshing! I’ve never used this medium for ink smooshing before, but found that it adds some fun pearl shine to a background.

Watch the video below or on YouTube:

I love this set from Miss Ink Stamps…these Axolotls are so fun! I used the coordinating dies for this one, and this time I was SOOOO happy to use them…cutting these critters out would have been a bear! See how the dies cut out the inside pieces too? So perfect.

For ink smooshing I used Distress inks and then Mica Sprays. See the video for how I did this. The EIEIO Frame die set has four frame dies and I used them ALL on this card. I also used the included alphabet dies to spell the word “ALOTL.” I just love creating my own sentiments like this.

I’m often asked what supplies I use to make my cards and projects, so I’ve put together a list using affiliate links when possible. If you make a purchase with these links I may receive a small commission. These help me to keep up with blog costs and continue bringing you fun projects. Thank you so much for your support!






I hope you enjoyed this project today! Thanks for stopping by!

Day 4: Watercolor Smooshing

Today was a great day for the Rainbow Maker Class! I wanted to make every single card that was taught, and I probably still will. But for now I have an Ink Smooshing card inspired by Laura Bassen.

I heat embossed the sentiment (from Reverse Confetti) with Ranger Liquid Platinum embossing powder. It is difficult to tell in this picture, but in real life it’s like a muted silvery gold color. So pretty!

I added a few sequins to finish it off. Hope you like it!
