Hey everyone!  Suzanne here to share a really fun and bright layout that I've created using Clearsnap Smooch Spritz and Smooch Accent Ink along with Bo Bunny's Double Dot "Bold and Bright" paper collection and Acrylic Alphas!  
The base of the layout was created with Clearsnap Smooch Spritz (Sun Kissed, Carrot, Cosmic Pink, and Pink Sprinkles...my FAVS) and water to create the watercolor effect.  I chose complimentary colors for this technique ..so if they mixed a little...I would get an additional color out of the mix!  I randomly stamped the page in ColorBox Archival Dye Ink in "Wicked Black"  using a stamp from the "It is Written" collection. The papers from the Bo Bunny "Bright and Bold" collection work perfectly with the Smooch Spritz! 

The Acrylic Alphas were colored with Smooch Accent Ink in "Tuxedo."  I wasn't going for perfect coverage at all because I wanted the color from the page to show through but also make them not blend too much into the background!  

 Clearsnap Supplies:
Clearsnap Smooch Spritz: "Sun Kissed, Cosmic Pink, Pink Sprinkles, Carrot" 
Smooch Accent Ink: "Tuxedo" 
ColorBox Archival Dye Ink: "Wicked Black" 
ColorBox Stephanie Barnard Premium Dye Ink: "Raspberry" 
Stephanie Barnard Premium Dye Ink Spray: "Sky"

 Bo Bunny Supplies:
Double Dot "Bright and Bold" paper collection
Acrylic Alphas
"It is Written" stamps

    The colors are so cheerful. I don't know about Smooch Accent Inks. They color on acrylic? I am interested to know more!

    Great layout kind of an opposite color scheme than most, color beneath with white lettering on white. I like the look.
