Hi everyone, and thank you for popping in today! I thought we’d take a moment to catch up and revisit an old favourite technique… Smooshing.
With so many new ways to blend colours – from inks and sprays to pastels, watercolours, stencils, and the Gel Press – Smooshing is sometimes overlooked. But this classic technique creates beautifully organic, magical backgrounds that are perfect for our designs.
After rummaging through a stack of “ones I made earlier” (in true Blue Peter style! 😉), I’ve chosen a perfect backdrop for today’s project, featuring one of our much-loved fairies, Harietta.
We’ll bring out the finer details using pastel and watercolour pencils, before adding those all-important finishing touches with a hint of Gold Wink of Stella.
So, plump up your cushions, relax, and let’s have some fun with this delightful technique!
