Mission Crafting: Spatter Paint

With three birthdays coming up soon, I had to get rolling on birthday cards.  One idea I had gotten from M did not look like it was going to be ready in time so I concentrated on the front of the cards. and will probably just write a note inside.

Watercolor painting is a multi-step project I have learned.  We had a meeting in the middle of the afternoon after Church so I did the spatter painting before we went to the meeting to give the pictures a chance to dry completely before the next step.

This is what it looked like:

These are the cards I will use for background.  The paper is Strathmore and the paints are Winsor and Newton which came in a darling little paintbox with 14 colors and a paintbrush and tiny pan for water.  There are also several mixing areas but I did no mixing today.  I started spattering with red, then yellow, then blue, finally I added some sap green because I really love sap green!

We shall see what I decide to add to the spatters.
