The Ice Cream flavour this week was Strawberry Lemonade Punch so I got to use my Spring distress ink "Squeezed Lemonade" (how fitting) and my Summer ink "Picked Raspberries" (close).
Think I need to be a tad more careful with the Mist in future!
About Me
- BJ
- Hi, Welcome to my Blog. I'm an eclectic kind of crafter delving into many pots. I am just about managing to keep up my Scrapbooking Diary (usually about 6 months behind), plus any cards as required. I have a new found love of Watercolour and Bible Journaling plus recently Faith/Art Journaling too. I've challenged myself to make an art journal page a day for this my 60th year. Previously I've also dabbled in ATCs, Tags, Altered Books, Mixed Media, Décopatch, Knitting, Crochet, and Embroidery amongst other things. I live in Surrey, UK with my husband, our son has left home now. For exercise I usually play Badminton and go Ballroom and Latin Dancing. I also like walking/Geocaching and sometimes do a bit of Bouncing on my Rebounder (mini trampoline). I have been learning to play the harp for the past 10yrs. I am now officially retired. I am a born again Christian, currently worshiping at my local Vineyard Church.

Love the butterflies- they have such a sheen to them! Spray inks are one of my favorites but they can be a bit unpredictable for me too.

How pretty - I'm glad you you saved this from the brink of disaster :o)
Misting pattern papers can be tricky too sometimes :). I love how soft the yellow & pink came out in your design. Cute butterflies too.
Wouldn't this be just perfect for a babyshower? The shades would be perfect!
Loving the great shimmer. Happy Summer of Color, Annette x
Hi!
I'm back again to answer your question!
Paint scraping is easy! Just blob a few random (acrylic) colours on to your page then use a plastic card (like an old credit card)to scrape the paint and make some happy colour combinations.... just playing really.
Here is a link to the place where I first saw it..... Michelle can explain it so much better!
