Hi,
Challenge 22 already.......time does fly when you are having fun and it thanks to dear Linda of Studio L3 who is taking us all on an adventure. This time its page 52 of the Compendium of Curiosities.
Made mine into an Easel card for a change.....and am quite pleased how its turned out. Using a straw with the technique caused a lot of laughter as my husband thought I was ill when he heard all the huffing and puffing.......stupid man..........lol
My wonderful prize arrived from Linda yesterday and I cannot thank her enough, as have great plans for the Configurations.
I shall not be around for a couple of days as am going to visit my Uncle and Auntie in Swindon, unfortunately he has cancer and is a bad way poor man, so its going to be heartbreaking as some of you will know who have been through the same thing with a dear friend or relative. But on a brighter note I will be back on Saturday and be able to catch up with all your wonderful work.
There is already some wonderful examples of Ink Spatter at Lindas' Studio L3 Blog so if you get the time its well worth a visit. Take care, hugs Annette x

I don't know how you did this so well with huffing and puffing! It came out fabulouly :) My family is going thru the same ordeal. I do hope you enjoy your visit. It is precious to spend that time with your uncle.
Hey, Netty, this is GORGEOUS! You must have some incredible lung capacity to have created such bold, beautiful patterns the way you did! The colors are stunning, too, and I love the raven gazing up at the butterfly. What a sweet, happy easel card!
I'm so sorry about your Uncle! What a sad thing to go through, for all of you, but I know that seeing your sweet smile will brighten his day. Have a safe trip, and I'l look forward to catching up with you when you get home. :-)
NETTY! WOW! This is really so wonderful!
Your colors fairly launch out from the white bits! Beautiful!
And the embellishments, especially the 3D butterfly! YOWZA!
Absolutely one of the most fabulous things you have shown us. I adore this card Nettie.
You must have a strong pair of lungs my girl - smashing splatters!
All the best for your visit - it isn't easy I know. I'll be thinking of you and your family.

Hi Annette - it's lovely to see all the fabulous things you have been making and this is one is gorgeous.
I am sorry I haven't been over to see you - but I am still alive, just. I have had the girls today so must catch up with paperwork tomorrow, and I am determined to still keep the creating and making going. Work continues to take all of my other time and will for another week or so. I will be back to commenting more regularly soon. Thankyou for staying in touch with me.
Take care.

Oh Netty, this is just beautiful! I love how you did the edges in black. It really made the colors pop.
Aww Nettie again memories from my childhood of sitting down and doing technique with my brothers but nothing looked as fabulous as your easel card.

Oh Netty, I'm overwhealmed with all these delicious projects which fill my eyes and lift my heart. I'm sorry it's been so long since I popped over here, been struggling myself with the family so sympathise with your problems. I LOVE everything on here, the altered fram is wonderful and your curiosity bits are amazing. I've not been interested in the book myself but now I see your work I think it's something I need! Wonderful wonderful work!
Much love

Brilliant card. Brilliant splatters.

Sorry for your sadness. I love your easel card. I used an air compressor that would blow the ink bottles right off the counter. Everything is fair in art!
gorgeous splatter art! hope uncle & auntie will be okay. your visit will help i'm sure. xo
Your splatter turned out fabulous. Love such colorful pieces!
fabulous Nettie
Your easel card with the great splashes of color is fantastic, Netty. I've tried that but haven't gotten such big splashes. Maybe your lungs hold more air than mine.
WOW... Love the effect of those straw...The splatters are really looking good!!!
HUGS
The spatter technique looks awesome! Sorry your Uncle is not well. ~Diane
