Hot Mess - June 2024

It's the 12th of January, time to get messy. (insert deer-in-the-headlight look) As you likely recall from previous 12ths, I am not one who likes messes. Not one bit. BUT a challenge is only a challenge if it stretches you, and I'm up for the Hot Mess Success Challenge. 

Barb, Carol, Darlene, Terry, and I create cards for the Hot Mess Success challenge each month and share them on the 12th. 

It's Anything Goes - as long as there is something messy involved.

For this month's card I started with an altered piece of paper in my scrap file. It's actually a piece of watercolor paper with some fun hearts stamped/embossed on it. I can not remember where it came from or what stamp it is. 

I sprinkled some Ken Oliver powders on it and gave it a good spritz of water.

After doing this a couple of times to get the color mixture I wanted, I placed a piece of heavy cardstock on top of it to remove some of the excess water and color.

Then I designed my card.

The good news is I have this altered paper to use later (who knows; maybe it will show up in another Hot Mess Success card).

Be sure to check out the other Hot Mess gals blogs, too, to see their cards (you'll be WOW'd!)...
