Hello there! Today I am sharing a quick little video I made showing how to get some great splatters on your page!
I put splatters on almost EVERY. SINGLE. PAGE. I have learned what techniques work the best for me to get some neat looking drops.
I am sharing this tutorial on the My Creative Scrapbook blog today for my tutorial as April guest designer. We used the Simple Stories Carpe Diem collection.
Hope you enjoy!

DIY Puffy Dots: layout, new look *VIDEO TUTORIAL*
So you may notice that my blog header has been updated! It's about time. I have been meaning to do it forever, and finally got around to it! I love the bright floral prints against the black and cream chevron background.
You may notice some puffy dots around the page. I discovered a simple way to make them quite by accident. Here's the story:
I was working on this layout below, which is for this weeks sketch on the My Scraps & More sketch blog. I wanted a way to highlight the waves a bit to make them stand out more. A white pen wasn't going to do enough, and I didn't have a paintbrush thin enough to paint them. Stickles were not an option becuase I didn't want glitter, and then I remembered that I had a box of old puffy fabric paints in my craft closet. I'm talking OLD, here...10+ years for sure.
(Layout info: I used papers from Studio Calico "Sundrifter" and "Atlantic" collections.)
So I grabbed a white one and tried to unclog it a bit by banging and squeezing it on my craft mat. The little drops that came out eventually dried, and an idea was born! Oh and I did use the white puffy paints on my page as you can see here:
So here is a quick, short little video just showing how I made the dots! After they dry, you can stick them on with liquid adhesive (like I did in my blog header) or glue dots, too!
