I went to my last scrapbook retreat with a list of techniques I wanted to try; embossed splatters topped that list. I love the look of ink and paint splatters but wanted to mix up the texture a little.

I used my VersaMark re-inker to drop dots of embossing ink along the right side of the page. I also dipped a paint brush into the ink and flicked it to get smaller spots. The ink is a little thick for that, but this is the kind of page that is all about experimenting. No perfection needed! I used Stampendous Fran•tage powder in several colours. (Oh, don’t forget to use a powder bag, embossing buddy, or even a dryer sheet, first!)

I quite like how it turned out, so this is a do-over technique. I added plenty of gold, glittery touches all over to repeat the metallic colours and used the same powder to cover the chipboard arrows.

Supplies: Echo Park/Glitz paper and stickers, Pink Paislee chipboard, Studio Calico badge, VersaMark ink, Stampendous Embossing Powder, Ranger Stickles, unknown wooden heart

So, what do you think? Is this something you would try?
