Hi Lindy’s lovers!
Valerie here and I’m back today with a fabulous layout created with
just 2 shakers! It’s a very very easy background. Perfect for the
beginners. I used a watercolor paper for the best result because I used a
lot of water with this technique.

I’m using Vicki Boutin watercolor card is very white compared to some
of the other brands, so the colors really POP. First, I used modeling
paste over a stencil.

Once dried, I sprinkled some Guten Tag Teal and Cathedral Pines Green over the page, but just over my modeling paste.

Then, I added a lot of water with a sprayer to activate the powder.

Sponge the excess with a towel to have a clean surface at the center of the layout.

When it’s dry, use the shaker to create inks in a palette by mixing a
little powder with water and use it to add some drops and splatters to
the page with a brush.

You can add 1-2 drips too.

I used a white doily and some pieces of cheese cloth to put behind my photo.

Then, I added some flowers, flair, and sequins to create a fabulous layout.
