Smooch!

Doesn't the name just put a smile on your face?! This month our designers are sharing one of our signature products:

Smooch Pearlized Accent Ink™

This month our designers are "smooching" anything and everything. This versatile ink comes in a cute nail polish style bottle with a brush applicator in the lid to allow for easy and precise application of the ink. Smooch™ colors coordinate with our entire product line from Smooch Glitz™ to Smooch Spritz™ and more! Check out these designs from our team and find a surprise at the bottom of this post!

Designer Suzanne Austin shares a layout she created featuring "Smooch™ed" flowers:

Designer's Note: "I've used a Crafter's Workshop stencil with artists modeling paste.  Once the paste dried, I applied Carrot Smooch™ Accent Ink over the the raised flowers and Celery over the leaves and stems; Tuxedo was used around the edges for highlights." 


Designer Megan Aaron shares a sophisticated card featuring a unique resist technique:

Designer's Note: "Smooch™ inks are so versatile. One of my favorite techniques is stamping with embossing ink and clear embossing, then using the smooch to color in the non embossed parts. The Smooch™ ends up looking sort of like watercolor with a gorgeous shimmer. The best part about this technique is that if you get some smooch outside the lines onto the embossed part, you can just wipe it away with a tissue."

Supplies: Clearsnap: Smooch Accent™ Ink in Lettuce, Pool and Frosted Aqua, Top Boss Watermark Ink, Top Boss Clear Embossing powder, Stephanie Barnard Dye Ink in Cornflower

Other: Hero Arts and Studio G stamps, Twine from the Twinery, Bazzill Cardstock. 

Did you know you can color in stamped images with Smooch™? Designer Sabrina Alery not only colored the flowers on this card with Smooch™, but she also added a bit of shimmer to the buttons in the flower centers.

Designer's Note: Smooch Accent™ ink is perfect for coloring in stamped images and also adding a touch of pearlized color to any embellishment, like the buttons on this card. It dries on any surface and the shape of the bottle is too cute to resist!
