Tutorial: SprINKler Circles

Happy Tuesday October Afternoon fans! It's Lexi and I have a video for you today...my first ever video tutorial and it is so NOT perfect--go easy on me ;) In it I introduce the Art Box Sprinklers and show you a fun technique to use your spray inks with!
 
Give it a look and I will see you on the flip side!  
Seriously, you find out so much about yourself while trying to do a video tutorial! Like..who knew I had crazy bird hands and that I loved the words, “Umm” and “Great”?! Ha! Anyway here is our finished card:
 
You can see that after I played around with it more I decided to orient the tag on it's side and flip the rocket shooting up. The patterned paper was trimmed so our paint & ink combined circles could be seen.
 
The sentiment is something my outer space loving 5 year old says, and I quickly realized I would run out of room with using all Mini Market stickers so I typed some of it and punched it out.
 
I tried to photograph the tags I created with the different colors of ink, seeing as if I didn't quite get them on film ;), but as the weather has been terribly rainy and overcast the photo below was the best I can do. I think you can still get the idea though!
 
Thanks for joining me today and like I said in the video,..do link us up in the October Afternoon Flickr gallery if you play with the Sprinklers or any ink circles! We would love to see!

Have a GREAT day ;)
