Amidst The Drips

Hello crafters, Kirsten here to show you a splattery, inky, stencilled card................
 
 
011
 
 
I used a negative of the large butterfly die cut to apply Picked Raspberry distress ink onto a piece of watercolour card..........
 
005
 
 
Next, I mixed distress inks with water on my blending mat & used a paintbrush to make splodges & drips on the watercolour card...............
 
This was followed by applying Jet Black Stazon ink through some stencils;
 
 
(6x6" stencils)

I die cut the large butterfly using black card & glued it over the pink one.............
 
 
008
 
I made a flower by die cutting some circles out of pink vellum, then folded them over & cut into them to make petals & secured all the circles with a brad. The greeting is from the Woodware Clear Magic Mini Flowers stamp set & everything was matted & layered onto black & pink cards, then onto a 7x7 card blank. I finished by adding some dots with a white pen to the splodges &
splatters of Sunshine Satin Silkies...............

  5. Who needs fancy patterned paper when you can have splodges and splashes? Would be a great card for a teen.

  7. Love all that background you created with the lovely bright summer colours - shows me that you don't need to go brown to create something distressed and beautiful! Love the masks you have used and you've only used in part - I need to remember to do that too! Thank you for all the inspiration this month - it has been wonderful to see how you use these tools Karen x
