My cat knocked over a full bottle of black ink onto my March spread yesterday
I had to carefully blot the whole mess with paper towels, which left a weird, blurry ghost of my weekly layout that I'm now calling 'abstract art' and rolling with it, but has anyone found a good way to salvage a page after a major spill?

Turn it into a haunted house theme for October. Your ghost layout is just early. Honestly, I'd probably trace over the blurry lines with a white gel pen to make it look intentional, call it a 'negative space' experiment, and never speak of the ink bottle again.

My old art teacher would hate that white gel pen trick.

My art teacher in 10th grade would have called that a "happy accident" and made us roll with it. I spilled black ink on a half finished portrait once and just turned the whole thing into a shadow monster eating the person's face. Got an A. The white gel pen save is totally valid, it's just fixing a problem with style.
