This one started out as a card for just two different challenges: Sketchbook Saturday and Reverse Confetti color challenge. But when I saw my sweet (and super talented) bloggy friend Anita's post for Addicted to CAS (she is guest designing... YAY Anita!) I just had to add my card to that challenge, as well. I also had to laugh when I read Anita's post because I share her desire to have things be well... neat and grunge (the ATCAS challenge) just isn't neat! But I have been giving it a try... first with stamps and now actually trying splattering on my projects. The randomness and messiness of splattering kinda unnerves me, but I'm starting to enjoy it more. I used SU! reinkers in the following colors: Certain Celery, Wisteria Wonder & Marina Mist. I mixed each one with water and splattered away. I would like to say it was liberating, but seriously... it wasn't, lol! The arrows were die cut using my Reverse Confetti arrow die and then adhered. I stamped the sentiment and image from the RC set Peacock Pretties, punches them out and adhered to the arrows. Some pale lavendar baker's twine was tied to one arrow and the piece was adhered to the card base. 
Thanks for stopping by...
Supplies: Cardstock: PTI white; Stamps & dies: Reverse Confetti; Inks: Stamping Up!; Baker's Twine: Stampin Up!

ReplyDeleteOh my goodness--you've left me speechless, Rosemary! Moving this one to the top of my favorites!
ReplyDeleteHello Rosie,
ReplyDeleteI love this...of course I do.
It is so random and so unlike you, but well done for facing your fears, creativity is inventing, experimenting, but mostly having fun that is how one grows. The splotches are fabulous along with the elements.
Smiles:)
Sue.
You did an amazing job on the ATCAS challenge, Rosemary! I love the color combo and how you layered your elements...very cool design, too!!!
ReplyDeleteWell you rocked the grunge challenge and with such pretty colours, thanks for joining us at ATCAS
ReplyDeleteYour post had me smiling, Rosemary ... thanks so much for the sweet words and shout out! Now for your card ... oh. my. goodness! I love how you've taken grunge and made it so your own ... yes, definitely neat and grungy .. and I adore those graphic, dimensional arrows! Soooo cool! Thanks so much for playing along with ATCAS! Anita :)
ReplyDeleteYour card is a fabulous CAS design and I enjoyed your post so much because I can totally identify! I like to splatter using a splatter stamp rather than the "out of control" unpredictable flinging of ink! LOL! I have wasted too much CS when I try the actual splatter myself.
ReplyDeleteRosemary, what a FUN & DARLING card this is! Love it!
ReplyDeleteYour card designs are fabulous!! Love the colors and the grunge on this modern design :) Thank you for sharing with ATCAS !!
ReplyDeleteFab splattered card, Rosemary! Love your take on the sketch and colours!
ReplyDeleteLove the random splatters,Rosemary! I like the stamps too. Beautiful card worth the bit of mess. Yay for a card a day.
ReplyDeletesuch a beautiful sentiment and I love the colours used too. Your designs always amaze me! :)
ReplyDeleteI love your ink splatters Rosi. Cool arrows. I like how you used them over the edge.
ReplyDeleteI'd call it fresh grunge! Super cool!
