Joy in a Rain Forest

Hello everyone  I hope your week is going well.

I have a card today using Designs by Ryn stamps including her new Striped Reed Set.   This 'scene' makes me think of being in a warm Rain Forest :)

The background was created using the Acrylic Block technique using Squeezed Lemonade, Mowed Lawn and Peacock Feathers Distress Inks.   I stenciled with TCW Starfall using Peacock Feathers DI and then with TCW Circle Explosion using white Acrylic craft paint.

Next I stamped the Striped Reeds (I used all three from the set) with Mowed Lawn DI.  The reed set is unique in that the two larger branches will fit together when stamped close or you can use them separately.

I over stamped using one of the smaller cluster of raindrops from the amazing Rain Drop Set with black ink, coloured a little and highlighted with a white Gelly Roll pen.  JOY is from the wonderful Artistic Expressions set by Chocolate Baroque. 

Finally I stamped Tsuki the moth, with black Archival Ink on watercolour paper, coloured with my Tombow markers, cut out and attached.  I added a little glitter and highlights as well.

Here is a look at the Striped Reed Set.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
