Celebrate with Splatters

Hi guys

I've found a little crafty time today and I've got a one layer card to share with you.

My initial inspiration for this card was the new challenge at Less is More which is to create a one layer card with splatters.

I recently made a purchase of my very first distress inks, a few packs of the mini ink pads.  I don't know how I've managed to last this long without purchasing any!  I've still got lots to collect but I wanted to use some of them for the first time today.

Here's what I created...





I started by blending some lilac ink through a stencil to create the vertical lines.  I then watered down the pink ink on an acrylic block and splattered this on the card by tapping a paint brush.  I then did the same with the green ink.  I was then impatient waiting for the watery ink to dry but didn't want to use my heat gun for fear of warping the card so I picked it up and wafted it around like a fan...what a great idea as I then created the runs in the green ink!  Once completely dry I stamped the sentiment and little sunburst flowers in black ink.

Materials used:

  • Stencil: Memory Box - Scraped Paint
  • Ink: Distress Ink - Shaded Lilac, Spun Sugar, Evergreen Bough; Versafine - Onyx Black
  • Stamps: Clearly Besotted - Sunburst

I am also linking this card up at the following challenges:

Fantasy Stampers - Challenge #34 - CAS
Brown Sugar - Challenge #141 - Distress
Happy Little Stampers - April CAS Challenge - Stenciling
One Layer Simplicity - Challenge #15 - Blowin' in the Wind (hopefully wafting the card to help it dry will count! lol)


I'm hoping to create more this weekend so I may be back again later.
