Good morning! Today is DT Wednesday at SP and Co, and I love these big, bold numbers from the set "One Two Three."
I was inspired by this week's CAS-ual Fridays challenge, which is to use mist. I tried to channel my inner Karen Baker on this one- I hope I did her justice!
I don't have any misting products, so I turned to my trusty old watercolor set. (and when I say old, I mean old! I got the set when I was in middle school, and although I paint quite frequently, I've only had to replace a few of the tubes!)
I always like the look of mist, but have never really tried it 'til now. I always told myself that if I got into misting, I wouldn't use red. I don't want my projects to look like they have blood splattered all over them, ya know?
Well...after all was said and done....I used red:

I hope it doesn't look too gory! I knew that with the messiness of the splatter I wanted a hand-drawn image to complement the imperfectness, so I sketched out the poinsettia with a fine-tipped pen.
I really like how this one came out, even though I was crafting waaaay out of my comfort zone!
PS. Don't forget that you have until Friday at midnight to link up for the very first Runway Inspired Challenge!

This is fantastic Jen! I LOVE that flower underneath those bold numbers!
I love sprays and misting. I don't think this looks gory at all. It looks great with the simple black and white.
So pretty, I love the splash of red! I don't think it looks gory, but then again I'm a huge fan of the show Dexter, haha! :)

Such a stunning card!
Nope, not gory at all! In fact, it's the perfect coloing for a CAS card. Love it!
This looks fabulous! I just can NOT do misting - I don't know how many creations I have tossed due to blobby and/or overmisting!
Love this!! And nice nod to Karen :)
