Embracing blue splatters by gw

Photo Details
Poster: Greywolf

 This is for the Mix7 challenge to splatter ink or paint - basically giving us permission to get messy! It is also for CC418 to use 3 shades of blue. I didn't have the colors listed, but there are at least 3 shades on this card. Dessert was to use at least one gem or sequin. I had these tiny pale blue flower gems and used 5 of them. Just for fun, I added a strip of blue washi tape. I rarely do color challenges but was happy that this one seemed perfect for the Mix7 challenge.

For Mix7, I splayed the bristles on a small half-inch paint brush, dipped it in watered-down ink and tapped it all over white cs. I really like the results! I have another piece to use for another card.

The flower image, colored with Copics, is one I had in my stash. I'm trying to use up those bits and pieces, but I think the stash grows faster than I can use them. LOL!

Great bg technique and love the colors.. great idea to tap the brush giving it it a soft swishy look.
