MIM #233

MAKE IT MONDAY
SPLATTERING

Danielle shares her tips for the splattering technique on this week's MIM Challenge.  Watch HERE to see how easy she makes it look with her beautiful gift tags. 

I have a tendency to 'over-do' sometimes (okay, it's more like all the time) so I really concentrated on splattering enough ink to look like snowfall and not a blizzard on this card.

My Card ~ This one's for you, Marcia H  ;-)

* PTI Song Birds dies are cut from textured aqua cs from Bazzill and mounted on blue glitter foam, then hot clued onto red glitzy  ribbon from the Dollar Tree. The leaves are cut from red foil and some are lifted up for (more) dimension.
* Tim Holtz "Christmas Background" is embossed onto PTI Stamper's Select White cardstock.
* The splattered shimmery ink is Summer Sky from Imagine Crafts

I went to Las Vegas for Thanksgiving this year, brought my iPad, but didn't have much time to use it.  So, gone for a week has put me waaaay behind on commenting.  Slowly but surely, I promise to make it by your Blogs to catch up ... you all have been very busy!  :-)

  4. Beautiful birds on a beautifully splattered background! I know what you mean about overdoing it (easy to do), but this is just right. Love your colour scheme, too.
