I printed the image out twice, and cut one out to use as a mask. With temporary adhesive I stuck it over the final image and rubbed Distress Inks over making the colour more intense at the bottom. Then I spritzed and sprinkled water over leaving it a minute or so before blotting it off, as this leaves lovely watermarks. For the splatter, I watered down black acrylic paint and just flicked it over.
Matted it onto black card when dry. The black & white patterned paper is glued straight onto the black base card - don't you think it looks like those mindfulness drawings that are the rage at the moment? Even at the ripe old age of 67 I still love splashing in puddles!
