#91 Watercolour Smooching Technique

I thought it would be fun to play with a few of the classic ink pads on some cards, creating a watercolour smooching technique. 

Tips & Tricks to Note

• If you don’t have acetate or a plastic sheet on hand, use an acrylic block. The benefit of the acetate is that you can bend it, and have more control over the placement of the ink than you get with a stiff acrylic block. The results are similar enough that it doesn’t really matter which you use!
