Today's birthday card is an experiment that I wanted to try after watching a YouTube video.
The background paper is a piece of Gina K White splattered with ink which was then blown around with a straw. The sentiment was cut with Memory Box Happy Birthday Friendship Script die from a shimmery navy of unknown origin. The embellishments are EK Success Bright Dots.
I was utterly intrigued by this technique when I watched the video and couldn't resist giving it a try. It requires a pretty heavy base paper because it gets quite wet. I also think the selection of inks must be carefully considered because the results could be iffy if the colours don't work when blended. Blue and yellow seemed a safe bet to me. I quite like the effect of the blown ink and I think the result is pretty interesting. I'd like to experiment with different colours and base paper because I suspect you could get some really beautiful results.
I hope you enjoy this card and come back to SPI again soon.
