National Scrapbook Day Blog Hop!!

Welcome to the Two Scrapbook Friends National Scrapbook Day Blog Hop! You should have arrived here from Two Scrapbook Friends blog. I am super excited to be your first official stop along the way!!

My letter is S and my technique/element is splatter


I love to use paint and mist on my layouts because it adds a softer look with some extra colour to add to the background. For my technique I used water colour paints and splattered on my background.


As you can see in this photo I have white paint on my background. Another cool technique I added to my page using water colours is I used texture paste on my background and then painted over top of it with my water colours when it was dry to add some colour. It turned out great!!

Now you should hop over to Jayne's blog. And remember to leave a comment on each blog as you go. This way you will qualify to be in a draw for a fabulous Blog Hop prize. Have fun hopping!

I have to admit, I don't use this technique quite often. Your page is gorgeous and it is a neat technique to add to the page.
