If you haven't noticed this trend yet, we editors at Paper Crafts magazine sure have, and it has definitely been a trend in Card Creations, Volume 10, the latest and greatest special issue from Paper Crafts magazine.
Whether you use ink, paint, glitter, embossing powder, (etc.!) to create this effect, the possibilities in medium, design, and purpose are truly endless. Here are some cards from the issue that show you what I'm talking about. Check it:
Your Craft Room or Mine? Card by Laura O'Donnell, p. 76
Moxie Fab Alert: In this colorful card, Laura has used the technique to offer a visual connection to her fun sentiment.
Stashing Through the Snow Card by Kim Kesti, p. 123
Moxie Fab Alert: In this pun-tastic Christmas card, Kim has used the spatter technique to mimic nature.
Romance Card by Els Brige, p. 24
Moxie Fab Alert: And last but certainly not least, Els has added the splatter in this card as part of her design. It gives her card an eclectic edge that is unexpected and a little bit of a funky surprise.

Where can I find the stamps used on Laura's cards please? You can email me at rubyslippers@neofast.net I looked all over her blog and could not find it.
Lovely designs and love spattering!! Thanks for the fun challenge and hoping to play along some more :)
Ha ha I would love to see a ten foot bone folder! Seriously though I love the splattering technique. I guess I just don't do it because it is a little messy. Thanks for the fun challenge.
I love the splattering and I think my grand daughter would have such a good time splattering in my room from http://roomstogrowusa.web12.hubspot.com/hobbyrooom/.

These challenges have been so fun this week, Cath - Love this splatter one! :)
I have noticed this trend lately. This and misting. I'm hesitant but game to try. I have a tendency to damage beyond repair cards when I try to "grunge" or "art" it up. But, we get better with practice, right?
What a great challenge! Thanks for the inspiration!
Love splashing it up! Thanks for such a fun challenge.
I love this trendy look. Thanks for the inspiration!
This is such a great challenge. I often forget how fun it is to splatter and the added layer gives it a whole new look.
Fun challenge Cath. Love to try out these techniques I don't normally do!

Love the samples! I used to do this technique on wood pieces I had painted for a rustic look. Love the look on paper and it fits so many styles! Fun!!
I haven't used the splatter technique much. It's a little out of my comfort zone. Thanks for the inspiration and challenge! It's a really fun and unexpected process. :)
Cath, the cards you've featured here are brilliant! I had so much fun splattering for this challenge - it was like being a kid again!
