Drips and Drops!



Drips and Drops are what we are doing this month at Country View Challenges and as it is the first day of the month the DT are sharing some pieces to inspire you to join us. I do lots of drops in my work, splattering being my favourite, but any drips are accidental, so it made a change to try and do this for real on this sentiment tag.



I started with drips in Broken China and Evergreen Bough Distress Stains - not the greatest "drips" in the world but they wouldn't quite go where I wanted them to! I then overstamped with a dictionary stamp (and the eagle eyed of you will notice that it is upside down!). I picked up the drips that had landed on my craft mat with my ribbon.

Crackle texture paste came next followed by a final blending of Gathered Twigs Distress Ink around the edges and then splattered here and there.



The flowers were edged with:

Broken China, Evergreen Bough and Gathered Twigs Distress Ink and splattered with Gathered Twigs. I made them in my usual style (tutorial here).




I love this sentiment stamp from Artistic Outpost which I stamped on a Prima ATC card. It also had some drops of Gathered Twigs Distress Ink here and there.




So a drips and drops tag for our new challenge at Country View Crafts. I do hope you will join us and of course look out for more DT posts through the month with lots more inspirational ideas. 

Thank you for joining me today!

Hello Jennie,
Oh I know how you feel about the drips not going where you want them too. I had fun trying to persuade them to go a certain place myself.
I have to say though that this Tag has all the wonderful elements that make your drips look just where they should be all in the correct place...well done the design has texture and dimension which is always pleasing to the eye.
Smiles:)
