Today's card has been inspired by Loll over at
Here is a video link to The Splash Water Colouring Technique...
This technique would be great for backgrounds
but I wanted to try it in a different way.
As soon as I saw, a new to me technique, I'm in....
I started by cutting a stencil with a die cut
and then had fun splashing my distress inks,
drying in between, which the masking paper did not like and kept creeping up...
I popped the fairy mask on and hi-lighted the wings firstly with gold acrylic paint.
I then spread some gold stickles onto my mat
and using a paintbrush hi-lighted further.
I always forget to use the stickles this way.
I stamped the crackle effect at the bottom of the card and heat embossed in gold,
finishing with stamping the sentiment in black first and then gold on top.
I have had this sentiment a little while and not used it
but when I got this new die, I thought they went so well together....
I was quite surprised that I only had some seepage,
especially with the masking paper creeping up.
I had fun with this technique and thank you Loll for the inspiration to give it a try.

There's no bottom to your barrel of creativeness M. So very clever here. Simply awesome. Those wings are so sparkly and a great finish to your amazing splash colouring. Sentiment is just perfect. When I saw the bottom I thought it was mesh but what a way to finish your card WOW!

I love the shape of this fairy, which was created by the mixing colors of the paint. This is so unusual, Mac. Beautiful card and you mastered the new technique. Great card and beautiful sentiment.
I just love the way you splish and splashed here and there with a fabulous result...well done..great technique I must say so too.xxx
Gorgeous, Mac! I love that you kept on with the splash, even though the paper didn't like it -- what a great ending! Then your gold accents make everything perfect!
Wow, Mac, what a stunning feminine card! And so absolutely unique! I love the way you've used that mask and splash technique. Very intriguing and just begging to be tried. Adding the gold and that wonderful sentiment finish up the card brilliantly. Thanks so much for joining our Watercooler Wednesday Challenge this week.

Mac this is breathtaking. I love your take on this technique. Striking colours and a touch of gold. Frame worthy; it's a gem!
Such a stunning fairy, she is just beautiful. What a wonderful technique I love the gold wings, she will definitely fly !
I love your pretty card, Mac. The fairy is beautiful coloured and the crackle botton is adorable. Kisses, my friend.

Such clever use of the masking, Mac ... the colours and sense of texture is brilliant ... and the touches of gold in the wings, border and edges are gorgeous! Hugs, Anita :)

Absolutely wonderful!! Love that you made you own stencil and what a delight your card turned out to be... Love it!
I never would have thought of using the splash technique that way - you are so creative! I love your vibrant fairy - especially the gold pattern on the wings. And another great idea I learned from your post - to paint with Stickles from your craft sheet!
So VERY VERY Beautiful, nice to see a fairy image with gorgeous colours like this, love the gold touch too. Stunning result Mac.
