I love the way you've made it seem as though the sun is shinning through rain. I love the stencils in the background too. Glad you're having some nice weather this weekend, it's sunny here today as well.

Your whitework is terrific & your raindrops very striking indeed - especially where the butterfly appears behind the actual drops. <br />Our weather is strange here too but the plants are doing well, we're seeing some combinations of flowering that I'd not have dreamt: Magnolia flowers at the same time as tulips & rhododendron.<br />Paula (PEP)Paula (PEP)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17869890939386052501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7408021256627481216.post-14289307590327796122013-06-01T15:17:26.160-04:002013-06-01T15:17:26.160-04:00Hi Mary, I've sent you an email, but will expl...Hi Mary, I've sent you an email, but will explain here for anyone else that is curious:<br /><br />I used 140 lb cold press watercolour paper - the smooth side. <br /><br />Here is the general order but you just have to play with it. When I try to duplicate for classes, it’s never the same.<br /><br />•Spray blobs of Dylusions Inks.<br />•Spray water and blot. Maybe let it run a little (or not, just play with it!)<br />•Maybe spray a little more ink and maybe blot off without spraying water (more intense colour this way), depends on how much ink you have down.<br />•I used Distress Ink with a stencil first. Then I blended DI around the edges with the same colour to fill in bare spots.<br />•I used Peacock Blue Acrylic paint over a stencil, using a sponge to dab on.. dab dab until it’s the thickness you like<br />•I use a heat gun between layers<br />•I doodled with black pigment pen & white gel pen and white watercolour paint Sharpie<br />•I think I explained the painting of the drops in my post<br /><br />That’s it! You really just need to play around and go with the flow & Have fun!<br />Paper Creations by Shirleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04587466253656100353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7408021256627481216.post-75297060080814282692013-06-01T15:01:26.662-04:002013-06-01T15:01:26.662-04:00So beautiful!

And are you using a W/color paper or some other heavy cardstock? Appreciate the info if you have time. I see a lot of bloggers doing (or trying to do as am I) this lovely technique. It IS fun...you have provided such inspiration for me to try this, and place my order with Ryn. Thnx for sharing your lovely card, your techniques if you have time, and have a wonderful weekend. Hot & humid in SCarolina today as well. Debating on turning on the a/c system. Still have a nice breeze - although it's not very cool.
