I don't have a spritzer (yet), but I recently made a card with my waterbrush and inkpad. I pressed the lid into the inkpad, filled the tip of the waterbrush with ink, and flicked my waterbrush to create speckles.
I don't have the spritzer either -- I tried the whole aqua painter and classic ink thing -- but I didn't have the refill colors I needed and it wasn't working with the classic inkpads -- my fingers are dyed forever, though!!
Anyways, I used my Itty Bitty Background Spritz looking stamp instead, here's what I came up with:
You would have thought that since I use the spritzer on just about every card I make, this would have been easy today -- but oh no! So anyhoo, here's my card for today:
Cool! I did this a while ago with an aqua painter, and I didn't even know that's what the spritzer did!
I made this for an ATC swap. It would make a cute placecard or something...
It's horribly blurry. Take your glasses off, maybe it will clear up:rolleyes:
Today's challenge was to use a spilzer. Don't have one so I followed reneejul1 advice and used reinker and aqua painter. Thanks it works great, --you just saved me 20 bucks.-- Thanks for the tip.
Here's my Spritzed Fall Birthdaycard. I used the color spritzer to add color to white watercolor paper, making it more vanilla (a little hard to tell in the photo).
I was looking at the Spritzer but wasn't really sure if I should buy it, but now I guess I have a good reason! I will tell DH that I just NEED it to participate fully in the challenges!

better late than never.. I too did not have a spritzer so I used an aquapainter and flicked it with my forefinger. Works quite well.
Here is my card Gallery at Splitcoaststampers
I don't have a spritzer, but I improvised with a wet paintbrush and ink. I flicked it all over my image to make snow. It turned out cute, but I do wonder if the spritzer would have been much better. Something to think about. Thanks for another great challenge.
Better Late Than Never! I combined this challenge with TLC87- Fantastic Fans! This took me a long time to make but I am so happy with my results. My Blo-pens have neon ink - I'm not sure if you can see it in the scan but you can see it in person!
I just read through all these posts from last week, and can't believe no one mentioned what Jaron demo'd at regionals with the spritzer! He used an old aquapainter and filled it with bleach. (Don't ever go back to using water in that aquapainter after putting bleach in it!) Unscrew the screw on the barrel of the spritzer, and loosen it enough that the barrel comes out from the middle. This will allow the aquapainter to fit. Then spritz the bleach onto your cardstock. He demo'd it on Brocade Blue, I think and it gave the cardstock a denim look. Stamped it with Pocket Fun, and it was awesome! I'll see if there's a picture in my pix from regionals!
