I need some advice. I would like to start trying to add some splatters to my pages as an added element . what specific products would you suggest and what colours work well together? I see Vickie Boutin has some new products out Has anyone tried any of her mixed media products? I live in Ontario so will probably be ordering from online as most of our stores have closed except for Michaels I look forward to hearing your suggestions!

If you just want splatters, I suggest a set of watercolors. You can experiment to see if you like the look before spending $$ on other items. You can also add colors to the page in various ways.
I haven’t tried Vickie Boutins line. There are many good, quality lines and various supplies to peek your interest.
For ink splatters, I most often go with a spray ink. My favorites are Lindys Stamp gang, Ranger dylusions sprays, and Ranger Adirondack sprays.

My favorite for splatters is India Ink (Speedball Super Black India Ink or Dr. Ph. Martin India Ink black). I usually use black splatters but not always. I do have about 30 colors of the Dr. Ph. Martin India Inks so I can splatter in any color. I use India Ink because it is permanent and won’t move if you use other wet media over it. I also use my favorite Simply Simmons 10 round brush to splatter. Get the brush wet, load with color, tap the handle to add splatters where you want them. Works perfect every time.

I like my India ink for my art journals where I'm adding lots of other layers too. But for my scrapbook pages, where nothing else goes on top, I like something a little quicker, probably because I'm lazy.

LisaDV, I find what I do super simple and fast only because I am so used to doing it I guess.

I like Heidi Swapp Colorshine, although I only own three. Tea is short of a goldish bronze which is nice. They are shiny when dry. I bought my three bottles on clearance at Michaels but I'm sure they still sell them.
I also like Mister Huey's, but I don't know if they make those anymore...
