Celebrate,
friends! Summer is in full swing!!
Mindy with you this
morning, sharing a fun technique to use as a background on a card this
summer. Our challenge this week is called "Splatter" and that is
exactly what I did for this background.
To start, I cut a rectangle of watercolor paper just a bit bigger than my A2 size card base. I then took an empty Spritzer Bottle from Tsukeniko, a small amount of water, and the Ultramarine Blue Color Bursts by
Ken Oliver Crafts.
You can mix as little, or as much of the liquid as you wish in the spritzer, then replace the cap and shake well to mix. When the color is as dark as you want, unscrew the spritzer and tap the stem on your paintbrush handle to form splatters on your watercolor paper.
I also used the Alizarin Crimson and Violet Color Bursts, to splatter in three colors. After air drying, the watercolor paper was trimmed to fit my card base.

I cut the Decorative Labels Twenty Seven die by Spellbinders, and attached a stamping of the daisy cluster from the Peacock Swirls stamp set by
Heartfelt Creations. I added a second shaped daisy on top of the
stamping, and added copper colored micro-beads for the center
embellishment.
I adhered the entire unit to the card front with Joy! Large Foam Pads, and added a piece of Ivory cotton teardrop trim colored with the Crimson Color Burst.
The sentiment used was from the Mums stamp set by JustRite Stamps.
I
hope this card has inspired you to get out your ink, some paint, or
Color Bursts if you have them, and splatter up a storm! We would love to
see your creations for this week's card challenge!!
