Splat Thanks

Hi everyone.  Thought I'd share this quick and easy card that I made while filming my latest video on Splattering.  Click HERE to see the video.

I used Distress Paints to create the splats, spritzing the sponge dauber end of the paint bottle a few times with water before pouncing it onto my watercolour card stock.  I love the fun, grungy look of the large splats.  A simple black die-cut sentiment finishes the card. :)

I entering this into CAS-ology #247 Challenge - Flow.
