Smooch Spritz™  Resist

Create shimmery background by spraying Smooch Spritz™ over embossed paper.

Supplies

Step-by-Step

1. Step 1

   Cut a piece of Presto Patterns designer paper with any die cutting machine.

   

2. Step 2

   Apply dye ink to the paper to reveal the embossed pattern with a blending tool.
   Make sure you leave some areas lighter and some darker to showcase the Smooch Spritz

   

3. Step 3

   Gently shake your Smooch Spritz™ to make sure the pigment is evenly distributed.
   
   Hint:
   I don't actually shake mine - I gently flip it side to side to mix the pigment so that I don't get bubbles at the top of the solution. Check the bottom of the bottle to see if yours is thoroughly mixed.

   

4. Step 4

   Holding your Smooch Spritz™ just a few inches from your inked paper, spray and coat the paper with a layer of Smooch.
   

   

5. Step 5

   Don't worry if you get droplets of the spray - you will be blending it in.
   
   When not blending your Smooch Spritz™, be sure and spray your cardstock from 6 to 10 or more inches away to ensure even coverage.

   

6. Step 6

   Using a second blending tool, blend the Smooch Spritz™ into the paper.

   

7. Step 7

   Finish the card as desired.

Variations

No embossed paper, no problem
