It's all about spritz and splatter this week at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog, so spritz and splatter I did!
I started out using Dina Wakley's 6x6 white media journal. The pages are so thick and richly textured that they held up nicely to the 2 liters of water I'm pretty sure I spritzed on there! My first step was to drop some gobs of Distress Paint on the page then I blasted the paint with several spritzes of water until it spread out in color blobs. When the page was still wet, I flicked on some drops of Dina Wakley Gloss Spray in Turquoise and Mineral.
When the paint dried (it took awhile after my aqua-fest) I grabbed my Altenew Halftone stencil and smeared some white acrylic paint through it.
While that was drying, I whipped out a new set of dies from the Just Lou Mindful Moodling Collection ("moodling" apparently being a term for your mood plus doodling). This die set is numbered as 29 and it comes with some very wonky-cool circles and ring shapes. I cut them out of black paper, then painted them a bit, not sure how or which rings I'd be using at this point.
I decided on the rings and glued them to my page using an UHU glue stick. Then I thought I'd get spritzy again, so I shook on some Infusions stain powder (Sleight Blue and Emerald Isle) and spritzed it with water. You know I can't go ten seconds without adding paint, so I went back in with some green and teal tones (Dina Wakley's Olive and Aloe).
I felt like I needed some oomph toward the bottom of the page, so I grabbed some Simple Stories Lemon Twist patterned paper and cut/created a border of wonky scallops.
I still needed a star of the show, so I turned to Dina Wakley's You are the Universe stamp set. I stamped a silhouette onto white paper and had all of my page elements ready.
Here are the supplies I used that you can find at Simon Says Stamp:

I fussy-cut the silhouette then painted it with bright colors. I cut out the word "Be" from Dina's Collage Words and glued that on as well. Then I glued all of the page elements in place. I added a strip of stamped text paper to the bottom of the page along with a touch of Midnight Blue paint (Paper Artsy). Just to give the page one last hurrah with splatters, I flicked on some drops of Dina's Gloss Spray (Night) and this page was done!
