Happy Friday everyone! Are you ready for Valentine's Day tomorrow? Some may be, some may not. Some may think love is flowers and roses and others find it messy! So why not have a little fun with the messy this week?!
Our challenge for you…. to include two "messy" items on your card, layout or off the page project! Messy items might include: paint, inks, mists, gesso, molding paste… you get the idea!
Look at what our design team created to inspire you….

I made an 8x10 canvas -- I started by painting the canvas pink, then
while the paint was wet, I used a red mist and sprayed it on the wet
paint -- while both the paint and mist were still wet, I took a vintage
dress pattern and used my hands to cause a mixed texture on the canvas
-- once my 'texture' was created, I removed the dress pattern and let
the canvas dry.
I used "6" messy things!
String dipped in Paint/Gesso mix and then "dragged" around the background (I actually let my son do that!)
Spray Ink (Dylusions from the store) for some extra blue dots
Gelatos (from the store) - yellow around the stitched tag
Watercolor Pencil - Blue Cloud
Distress Ink - edges of tag
Some Elements from the Frosted Designs "Rustic Beauty" Kit

Capture the Moment - I started with a lovely pale blue and white polka dotted paper. Next, I
laid a polka dotted stencil on the paper and rubbed some metallic blue
berry gelato on then continue by paint-able texture paste. This gives
you a wonderful multicolor look. I took a stamp and dabbed orange ink
onto it. They look like large paint splashes. Finally I misted some
light blue paint followed by painting many layers and splashing. Now I
used another stamp with black ink for a little drama. The rings
received a coat of guava dimensional crystal. The gears and photo frame
were sprayed black. The final step was adding beads in a couple of the
rings.
