Splitcoast Tutorial: Mixed Media Smooshing
This week's tutorial over on Splitcoast is a fun update to the old favorite Smooshing technique - our author's adding in a variety of different mediums and mixatives with beautiful results!
This truck set has been such a popular one at Spellbinders that they've designed an add-on set with more sentiments for the tailgate - there are so many fun occasions this truck can be used for now!
These are the mediums I used for my background panel - the Inka Gold is starting to dry out, but it is water soluble - I cut out a small piece and crumbled it onto my craft sheet, then misted with water, sprinkled the Brusho, and used a palette knife to mix the two mediums together.
Here's a closer look at the truck - the surfboard and beach ball are brushed with dye inks.
My second truck is cut from a print I did on my gel plate using pigment inks - I sponged a little Stazon Pigment ink on the truck for detail, and dabbed a little almost-dry acrylic paint on the tailgate to highlight the word.
For the background, I sprayed my craft sheet with this dye mist, and then added in a few drops of Ken Oliver's Liquid Metals in copper - such a pretty sheen.
Here's a look at the full truck set, which has accessories for every occasion:

And here is the new add-on set - I love that these can be used on tags or other cards, and aren't limited to the tailgate! So much fun. That scalloped rectangle is very cute too.
