I am worth so much more than my dress size

Have you checked out the latest Emerald Creek Dare? You can get messy and splatter your way to a $50 Emerald Creek gift card.

I decided to make a little spattered dress for the challenge.  It's funny, I love to splatter almost every project I make but when I saw this challenge I froze.  Since I always splatter did I just make my typical project? I decided to splatter all the things instead.

I started with a chipboard dress and smeared on gesso using my fingers.

I added Distress Crayons and rubbed them around.  I wet my finger a bit to move the color. 

My first splatters! I spritzed water on to make it some of the crayon lift.

Paint splatters make the second layer of messy goodness.  I mainly used Dina Wakley paints.  They are nice and heavy.  

Now time for embossing powder splatter.  I sprinkled on Charred Gold Embossing Powder and heated the powder from the bottom so it wouldn't blow all over the place.  

I used a bit of Hammered Metal Embossing Powder on the bottom of the dress and on the sleeves.  

I decided the sleeves didn't pop enough, so I added white paint to the sleeves, the neck, and around the edge of the dress.  I used my fude ball pen to add the black dots.  I scribbled all around the dress using a silver gel pen.  I also used a large background stamp for some extra interest.  

I splattered my Button Brad with the same paint I used on the dress.  I thought it looked too flat.  

I ended up painting the buttons yellow and covering them with Clear Embossing Powder.  

It's messy and imperfect-just like me!
