Splatter It

Hello.
Eek, I'm excited.
For the whole month of August I will be Guest Designer for the
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge.

We have some fun challenges lined up for you, so I hope you'll play along,
and you'll be in with the chance of winning a $50 gift voucher to spend in the store.
We all love a shopping spree, right?

Here's my card for this week's challenge,

where the theme is

SPLATTER IT

This week SSS are showcasing Ranger inks, so I've used them to
water colour my blooms.
My first EVER attempt at water colouring flowers !!

I embossed my Wplus9 modern anemones in white, die-cut them, and then used distress inks to water colour them.

I'm not really sure how most people do this, but I smudged some ink from the pad, 

onto an acrylic block,  added a little water, and picked it up from there with my paint brush.

It's kind of addictive, isn't it?

I popped the blooms and leaves up with foam tape, onto a stitched scalloped rectangle die from MFT, 

that I splattered with the same distress ink.

(I think I could be a bit bolder with my splatter)  :-)

Finally, I added a labeled message from Mama Elephant.
