This is my second post today - the Out of Hat Creations current challenge theme is "Let it Rain" so decided to get Design by Ryn's Raindrops out to create something to join in. I also used solid butterflies by Impression Obsession and a sentiment by Chocolate Baroque to create this card. We are getting more rain than normal, but our plants and trees love it - they prefer rain to drought.
I started with Neocolour II crayons (water soluble) on the background. I rubbed some colour on and then spritzed with water and let the colour run together helped along with a brush. I coloured with the crayons directly onto the solid butterfly by IO D5009. I spritzed with water and then stamped onto the background. As you can see, the result is a watery effect. When dry I outlined with a water paint Sharpie (the Gelly Roll pen won't draw on the wax very well). Next I stencilled using TCW Mini Cell Theory and Distress Ink.
I stamped the Raindrops and also used a couple of stamps from Raindrop Set with Teal Stazon Ink. I coloured them a little with Distress Ink & water (from my craft mat) and highlighted with a white Gellyroll pen.
The sentiment is from Chocolate Baroque's Loving Sentiments set.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend
