Spritz and Splatter

 

 Hello Monday, my friends! And welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. Thank you for joining us for the  Bright and Cheerful  Challenge and we hope you will all join us again this week too.

This week the challenge is: SPRITZ AND SPLATTER

Who doesn't enjoy a good spritzing? or splattering? I channelled Spring with my colors and design. 

Why not make a tag for Valentine's Day? Or a birthday or anniversary? If you can't get out to pick up real flowers, here is the next best thing.

LOVE YOU TAG

I selected a mix of sprays to work with on my tag. 

 

I sprayed through the stencil with three colors and splattered on the Fuchsia. I used too much orange and it went under the stencil, leaving blobs that I wasn't happy with.  

I laid paper over the stencil with the spray on it, and printed a reverse image. I cut and ripped that to go over part of the tag.  

Fussy cutting the stamped and colored flowers... 

Figuring out how I wanted to lay everything out... 

I stamped Love You and colored butterflies to add. I popped those up.  

I wanted to echo the stenciled colors in the flowers, so went with yellow, orange and pink. I used watercolor for the flowers and butterflies. 

I tied off the tag with hand dyed ribbon. Final step was to splatter some gold gouache with the splatter brush.
