Hold your paint dabber under a running tap. Pounce your dabber on a test sheet of paper. Once your dabber releases paint, you are ready to pounce your dabber onto your "good" sheet of paper, with heavy force. After dabbing twice, place dabber under running water and repeat. Heavy force is needed to give you that splatter look.
Pictured are samples using Stream, Terra Cotta and Wild Plum
Once completely dry, you are ready to finish your card.

I love this card Beth!!..your tutorial is awesome...what a lovely background!
WOW!! This is such a good idea and very different from using already made paper. Adds a special touch to the whole card :)
This is just FANTASTIC -- love the card, so adorable!!
Great idea!!! I would have to wear a green garbage bag from head to toe...
Great Idea ! I'll try it but in my sink too ,-)
boy I really like the looks of this, but I think I'll leave this technique to when I can work outside in the summer LOL, somehow cleaning my bathroom walls doesn't appeal right now, giggle.
I wondered how you used them. This is a great effect. Guess what I'm going to buy next!
Terrific technique Beth! I purchased a few dabblers to try but had to have more. After buying more they are on my must have list! Did you know Ranger recomends storing them upside down? It helps with that start up issue.
