Hey everyone! I have a fun layout to share that I made for a challenge with the girls over at My Scrapbook Nook. The challenge was to create a layout based on this inspiration piece.
Fun inspiration piece, don't you think?! Here is my take on it:
The photo was taken at Cadillac Ranch in Amarillo, TX. There were lots of cans of spray paint there for people to add their own art to the partially buried Cadillacs so I thought the ink splatters/drips went with the photos perfectly.
The base of the layout is a transparency. To make the ink splatters I dripped alcohol ink onto the transparency and blew it around with compressed air before it dried. It was a super easy technique...didn't even get any ink on my fingers.
Do you want to join in the challenge? If you do, I'd love to see what you make.
No ink on your hands? You rock Diane! Love the colors :)
