So I issue a challenge to create a page with splatters or misting. Come and join us!

To create the background, I folded 12 x 12 cardstock to create an equal triangle. Cover half of the white cardstock and do the misting on the half and splaters on the other half. I used Dylusion spray ink bubblegum pink (splatters) and london blue colors (misting).
