Compendium Challenge - Splatters? Blobs? Who Knows?

This week's Compendium challenge from Linda is from page 52 - alcohol ink splatter.  My first effort - two efforts, really - were definately more blobs than splatters. Muddy ones, too - I was definately overthinking the ink!  This is version 3!

I used juniper, lemonade and pink sherbet inks. I had a lot of problems with the technique - both from the can and a straw!  


The background paper is from Crafty Individuals ane the stamps are by Wendy Vecchi.

    Your results certainly don't indicate problems! Beautiful choice of the more delicate colors, accented so well by your choice of stamps, too.
