On a recent craft day with Susan, Loll and Trina we tried a smudge technique using Distress Oxide inks. The technique can be seen here at Scrapcosy, I adapted it a little and did the scene versus multiple images. I also place the stamp in my MISTI, that way if you smudge a little too much you can add definition back into your image.
I sprayed some shimmer spray over the image when it was dry, as always it looks way more sparkly IRL.
I'm entering this for the following challenges

This is so pretty Christine, and I love the stamp and the smudge effect is so soft and works well in that beautiful blue, gives
This is a great technique using this pretty scenic stamp Christine and I love the soft blue colour. I think it has the look of a slightly misty winter's day. x
