CAS Mix Up May Challenge

Hi everyone.  I'm hosting the CAS Mix Up May Challenge - Splattering.


I splattered a piece of mixed media paper with yellow, orange and pink and then die-cut the tag.  I think it creates a fun background for the small spray of flowers and sentiment. :)

My CAS Mix Up card has stamping, splattering, watercolouring, heat embossing, and die-cutting.

I created a video on the different ways that I splatter.  I hope you'll take a few minutes to check it out.  If you find it helpful, please give me a thumbs up on YouTube!  Thank you!!

P.S. I loved your video...short and sweet with fun splattering techniques. Always love hearing your soothing voice and watching your professional videos, Loll :-)

That is a wonderful tutorial, Loll! I have splattered with each technique (the first three examples) and never noticed the difference the tool makes! Now I have a definite 'favorite' (seeing them together!) :D ...Absolutely LOVE the big splats! Thanks so much!!! ♥

Such a sweet card, beautiful colours and CAS perfection. Perfect splattering, which can be so hard to achieve and do so like the tag on the card x Loved your video and your calm delivery x

"Sweet" is the perfect sentiment as it fits your beautiful little tag perfectly! Love the splatters reflecting all the colours you used, and love the white stamped sentiment on the green.

Another fantastic video, my friend! And a beautiful, splattered card to go with it! I love the abundant splatters and how you've put them on the tag to keep your card perfectly CAS! Pretty flowers too!

Thanks for sharing your video. Now, I did know about the toothbrush, but like so many techniques, I forget to utilize them. (slapping forehead...) I may give that one a shot on a card tomorrow. Love your tag/card, Loll. Those splatters look so pretty with that sprig of flowers. Such warm and pretty colors. Love this. Have a good evening. Bev

Lovely, colorful tag with a sweet flower. Thanks for all the tips in the splatter video and those cards are great too.

Bobby said...

Containing the spatters to the tag was a great way to keep the card CAS, Loll, and those flowers are so sweet and colorful. The video was great and I think I need to load up my brush more when I spatter that way.
