Smooching It Up With Smooch Accent Inks!

Welcome to Wednesday and today’s MidWeek Muse where we’re smooching it up big time, with Smooch Pearlized Accent Inks!

Colors galore and the subtle pearlized effect make these inks winners. I spent a few days experimenting and playing to see what can be done with Smooch and came away convinced that these little bottles of color and glimmer pack a punch far larger than their size would suggest.

Smooch are suitable for a host of surfaces and one thing I really like is that the colors stay put once dry, which means you can layer them without making mud. Perhaps the most amazing thing I discovered is the Smooch is water based and if you dip the applicator into a pan of water the color spreads out into a dot that floats on the surface, and that grows larger the longer you leave the tip in the water. A bunch of these dots, gently floating on the water’s surface, can be used to create marbled effects on paper. I made a bunch, then stamped on them, for a really cool effect. Be sure to scroll down the page so you see the examples – I used some of my favorite Stampotique Originals images!

That’s one of the techniques you’ll see me demo in today’s video, along with some basics like applying Smooch to chipboard pieces.
