Drips, Splatters & Blooms

Hi friends, 

I looked for some inspiration on Pinterest inorder to play along with the Altenew challenge and a card by Therese Calvird where she used striped paper caught my eye, and I thought I'd try a paint drip background instead. Capturing the shimmer was again a difficult task.

Products used:

#altenew (Hawaiian Coral stamps & die) #ranger distress ink (tea dye & tattered rose for background colour) #catherinepooler inks, gold acrylic paint (drips & splatters) watercolour paper & sequins. 

Ink smooshing was done on the background using a mix of distress inks for the sand colour. This was followed by gold paint drips, which were made to flow naturally from the top edge and lots of gold splatters. Finished off with the stamped, die cut and fussy cut (to get rid of the white edge) blooms, a stamped sentiment and sequins. One flower was adhered with foam tape for dimension.
