MIX7 Happy Birthday, You Old Elephant!

Photo Details

Poster: UnderstandBlue

Today's MIX-Ability challenge is to SPLATTER - how fun!

I used the Color Spritzer and a marker to splatter my background for a vintage, polaroid look.

I have a complete video tutorial at this blog post.

Hope you can play along with the challenge!

I LOVED your tutorial!!!! I love learning all those little tips & tricks, especially from a pro like you! Your card is genius. Why on earth have I NOT tried making my own polaroid? Oh yeah, because I'm lazy. LOL! BUT, I will try it this weekend! Thanks for your video :)

Incredibly COOL, Lydia! Love the vintage look. Reminds me of photos at the Ringling Brothers Circus Museum in Sarasota.
