Themed Fridays ~ New techniques!



 Hi friends!

Happy Friday!




Today's card is a feature from an Instagram hop

with my sweet friend, Kim ..

my sister from another mister! :)

Her theme this week is:

Create a card with a new to you technique.

Here is my card with a 'faux paint splatter"

which gives the look of splattered paint ~ without the mess!



This gorgeous daisy is from Taylored Expressions 

(and was almost my One Plus Twelve selection)

and I popped it up on a window of vellum.

The splatter was created by dropping ink onto acetate,

swiping it with a baby wipe and getting a fresh wiped table look

and QUICKLY dropped a white A2 cardstock into the water/ink.

Once dry (I used a heat gun to speed up the process),

I stamped and die cut and added this to a background of the same.


Fun fun!

When you've been making cards for a long time like I have,

and while I have not tried every technique, 

sometimes it cool to tweak ones you know or bring back oldies!


That's it for today!

Thanks for stopping by!

    Side note…I can’t figure out how I stumbled upon your blog but I’m so very glad I did.
    And I have that John Lennon song stuck in my head. Have a great weekend.
