Today I wanted to share with you all the techniques we did for week 6 (last week) of Club 52 (which you can read about here) and Paper Crafter’s Library members. This week I’m working on splattering techniques featuring dye-based re-inkers or watercolor paints. This technique is based on watercolor painting techniques and is a fun way to create interesting backgrounds, foliage, stone look and much more.
This technique is easy to do with a few simple supplies. Heavy weight watercolor paper, a natural hair brush, and whichever brand of re-inker, ink or watercolor which you desire. The technique is easy to do, and creates some really fun unique looks.
So here is a snapshot of this week’s techniques:
I have a close up picture of the splattered tag using forced air to create stems technique:
And then here is a close up of the tag I created using the Splatter and Blotting Background Technique:
The third tag I created, features the large splatter color mingling technique:
I hope you enjoy these techinques, as these are probably some of my favorite for watercoloring.
Awesome techniques!
That pot with the splattered flowers is stunning!

The soldiers were cut from my Silhouette machine. The download is only $0.99 then cut out with my machine. 🙂
