Simple Splash Technique

Happy Friday Bloggers!

I have a quick & easy tutorial for you today featuring A Muse Studio  Splash! Spray Inks and Stardust Finishing Spray. Hope you enjoy!

 
Here's how I created the sprayed background:

Grab a piece of scrap paper big enough to cover the top of the panel you are going to spray. (I used some cheap cardstock). To leave a white strip across my panel, I made sure the washi tape hung over my scrap paper about 1/4" evenly all the way across. Now you can spray the bottom of the panel.

Don't take the paper off...just flip it down to expose the top portion of the panel.

 

This will cover the bottom of the panel.



Now you're ready to spray the top of the panel.



Remove the scrap paper. Now spray with entire panel with Stardust Finishing Spray - if shimmer effect is desired.

Once dry, you're ready to stamp! Or... if you're impatient like me, dry it with your heat tool.



Other details:

• Stitched border stamped with Mushroom ink.
• Background grass/flowers stamped with Wasabi ink (very lightly) - then again with Mushroom ink.
• Butterflies stamped with Mushroom ink.  (some stamped as 2nd generation)
• Sentiment embossed with white ep. To make sure I didn't get any stray specks of embossing powders, I treated the area with Static Magic before embossing.
• Diamond Glitter applied to diecut butterfly with Simple Stick powder and Versamark ink.
• Butterfly and main panel adhered with 3D foam adhesive.

Splash! Spray Inks have an opaque matte finish. You can leave it matte...or kick it up a notch with other sprays...like I did with the Stardust Finish Spray. I love having so much versatility with my products!
