I rarely do splatter although I like it when I see it on cards created by others. When I look at this one I see why I don’t do it often. To me this looks like a hot mess, but knowing others may not agree is the only reason I’m posting it. To make the card I used my new StampinUp every day details stamp set and dies. I like how the dies create the little border holes on the circles. I decided to cut first and then stamp but it may have been better to do it the other way around. I stamped the birds nest with eggs and used another set by YNS to stamp the little bird on the branch which came from a GKD set. Colouring is mix of ink and watercolour pencils. The sentiment came from a set by the Cats Pajama’s. I added everything flat except for the sentiment circle which is popped up on foam tape. Then I tried to add the splatter. First attempt the ink didn’t show enough so I added a darker colour along with a bit of sparkle spray and tried again. As you can see I got ink everywhere some in large blotches. I shall have to practice this technique before I add it to another card.
The card is made for two challenges:

Such a pretty spring card. Great set of dies and images. I did have to chuckle over your splatter. I think it looks great.

Thanks Lisa and like you I was surprised that this bundle didn’t include matching dies. It is one of the reasons, I don’t buy that much from StampinUp. But I do like the dies I did get.

The dies do look fun. I just thought they would have a bird since they have the nest and eggs. At least you got nice DSP from the Sale-a-bration.
