Making a splatter

I've been wanting to do something a little more playful in my card making.  I wrote down on a list a few new things to work with to improve my overall card making/art for the next couple of months; Sewing on cards, using corrugate card board, spritz and sprays, and using dies and layering.

I'm starting with sprays and splatters mainly because Less is More is having a splatter challenge ,

So I grabbed my splattery stuff which I really don't know how to use and then splatterd it on my craft mat.  It looks easier on youtube..

Spritz the mat and smoosh the paper

 

Well, not very exciting 

So I tried a different set of inks.

Again, not very nice...

So I  Left the water base ink and decided to try alcohol inks

I like this better, it was very interesting how the paper absorbed the ink.  I will save this piece for another card

.

 

Alcohol inks, Ranger Color Wash and Glimmer Spray.

 

So I thought I'd try distress in with a splatter stamp.

 

 

Blah

 Same stamp using pigment ink

 

So I went back to old stand by - watercolors!

Old habits hard to break, this is a color wash is not a splatter!

So I wet the brush and splashed the paint on the paper

 

A few sheets later I had what I was looking for 

and here is the card!

 

 

I was all ready to post this and link this up, Then I read the fine print over at Less is More and realized this had to be a one layer card. So back to the drawing board.  But to make it quick I used distress ink dauber.

And here is my card

 

Thanks for stopping by!
