I have a fairly quick design using one of the Celtic Stars by Designs by Ryn:
I blended around small circles die cuts with Persimmon, Raspberry and Mahogany Distress Inks. I splattered water to create the drops. Next I stamped a small star from Ryn's Celtic Star Set with Persimmon & Raspberry.
The large Celtic Star 4 and Water Droplets were stamped with Cocoa Archival Ink. I highlighted the star and water drops with a white Gellyroll pen. I also added white and copper embossing enamel here & there.
You can also find Ryns' designs in unmounted sheets here or at various retailers around the world.
Ryn has posted a great tutorial at her blog showing a technique to make her water droplets look 3D!
Seasons Greetings!

Love it Shirley and I am still fascinated by how clever the water droplets are, I still find myself touching them because they looks so dimensional.
All ready for Santa, I have Brusho's at the top of my list so I hope he finds them in stock somewhere, with his magic powers I am confident. Wishing you and yours a Happy and Peaceful Christmas.
