Good morning and happy Saturday - welcome to the weekend! Today is the start of a new challenge over at Country View Crafts, and this time the lovely Teresa has chosen Splatters, Splashes and Drips. Here is my very splattery card.
I made this for my son's partner's father - luckily he has a sense of humour!
I started by making some watercolour paint with Brusho's in red, yellow, and blue.
Then I used my fan brush to make spatters.
As this was Brusho I knew I could add lots more water - the page just burst into life at this stage.
I don't know who put these stamps away in this condition. Obviously I clean them everytime I use them....
I used the same inks on the stamps to make my spatters.
Then I added the sentiment from the Bee Crafty set. In the end I decided that it didn't stand out enough and I re-stamped it onto a banner cut with a Tim Holtz strip die that I'd had forever and never used. Once again if you keep something long enough....
I love this skeleton stamp set, but thought he would look better on a body, so I used my favourite Zinsky fisherman from Paper Artsy.
Ah you can't beat a good head swap every now and then!
I hope you join in with our challenge and get splatting! There's a £20 voucher up for grabs for 1 lucky winner.
Have a great week, and thanks so much for looking x

The head swap was such a brilliant idea Sue, I love his moustache too. I will be humming the tune all night now... I love it when Tom Jones sings it! Hugs, Anne xx
ReplyDeleteThe head swap is clever... I must remember this! You really went all the way with the drips and splats, Sue! Mine feel so restrained now, just shows how a control freak I really am! xx
