I HEART IPPITY

and 

MY SCRAPBOOK NOOK

I created this card for my Totally Terrific Thursday project at 

I Heart Ippity, as well as Danni's weekly CARDS Sketch Challenge at The Nook :)

The stamp set is

 Bloom & Simplify 

IPK-166 

and is one of the April Releases

I LOVE this stamp set for it's very grungy, scruffy look...plus the sentiment 

of the background stamp is truly beautiful and well-stated.

TIP FOR SPLATTERS:

I bring this up only because I've struggled with creating the perfect 'splatter' paint

effect.  The effect that I've always wanted to achieve are big blobs along with 

tiny flecks :)  Add a little water to your acrylic paint and mix.  Test on a scratch

piece of paper before applying to your actual project...you don't want your

mixture too thin.  I use an old toothbrush, but you could also use a stiff 

paint brush or pipette. It also helps to stand back a little more when you're 

wanting to create the smaller splatters.

DOT & WHIMSY

My Dot & Whimsy shop at Etsy is a sponsor at 

Cookin' Up Creations

The Design Team there has whipped up some really amazing stuff!

I sent different color schemes of the

On The Fringe Crepe Paper Trim

and you must, must go and take a look at how they've 

incorporated the fringe onto their scrapbook pages, home decor, baskets and more!

You'll be inspired ♥
