The 'Class Schedule' is a 'Daily Dose' journaling block I've had for ages. MME put out a heap of these a long time ago - they were fab! Unfortunately now not available.

Here's how I did the flower...

Drop ink from a glass dropper, I try to do two drops one immediately after another from a height so it gives a 'splash' effect, then hold the paper vertical so the drip runs down the page (I'm using 7 Gypsies Couleur Wash (which was in the shop at Babinda, but not online) and I just had a thought...*edited in: you could use Tim Holtz distress ink - but water it down a little cos that ink is a bit 'thicker' - the 7 Gypsies ink is a 'wash'... so is a bit more of a water ink...
TIP : With the Tim Holtz Distress ink... if you have only a tiny bit of ink in the dropper and squeeze up some water with it...shake the dropper a little so it mixes - and then that will splash beautifully!

Then draw petals right around the splash
Image


Scalpel out the petals just over halfway to the splash, enough to slip the photo under...
Image


And then do the same with the rest of the petals
Image

So it gives the page a little 3D :biggrin:

And if you are budget shopping.. then in the shop there are MME Kits for great value for whats in them Check them out here

Did I just make sense??? :roll: :lol:

I've edited this part into the tutorial

TIP : With the Tim Holtz Distress ink... if you have only a tiny big of ink in the dropper and squeeze up some water with it...shake the dropper a little so it mixes - and then that will splash beautifully!
