Marbled Backgrounds With Smooch Pearlized Accent Ink

Welcome to Clearsnap Blog. Mary Dawn here today with a magical technique using a dish of water and Smooch Pearlized Accent Ink.

I am so excited to share this technique with you, because it is so simple and so fabulous! Something amazing happens when you float smooch on water. You can add colors in any order and create interesting patterns that resemble the marbled end papers of antique books. If you choose high contrast colors the result is bold, but I chose two soft colors for my Easter card. 

I created a video showing this fantastic technique:
