Hi everyone, it's time for the Group of
Seven Cardmakers technique post. This month we had fun with Smooshing Cling wrap. This has been one of my favourite background techniques.
There are a few videos for you to check out as there are lots of ways to apply the colour to your plastic wrap.

I found applying the inky cling wrap to coated card gave the best colour transfer. Coated card allows the colour to sit on the surface for a short time before it is absorbed. I reused my plastic wrap after the initial colour transfer. You can see from the two pictures below, the first transfer is really dark, for the second I spritzed the cling wrap again before making the print. The colours are so soft in those prints, I think they are my favourites.
