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.
Card 1 Visible image Stamps and Clearly Besotted Sentiment, Water colour card stock and Lindys Sprays, Versafine Clair to stamp the image, White Gel pen to add highlights
Card 2- Crafty Individuals stamp, 110 lb white card, first Generation Bister Powders, Versafine Clair ink and watercolour pens to colour the image.
