Rain Drops


A bit of a late post, I've had this seasonal chesty cough that's going around, the days just got all messed up.

So back to business and the new challenge at

We have no sponsor this week so it's just a theme of
Add a Sentiment.



I've gone back to Sweet Poppy Stencils for this one, I just find them so versatile.

This one is the Teardrop background. I used white paste through the stencil on black card then let it dry over night. To make the background I've then used the same stencil on the 2 corners using distress ink. Then I've used alcohol pens to colour over the dry paste. Nicely blended out to keep the colours light. To match in I picked 3 layers of card to tone with the pen colour and layered them up in a twisted format. The sentiment is also from sweet poppy to complete the card.

I would like to enter this in the following challenges

613 avenue - Any Occasion
Ellibelle's Corner - no designer paper
Mix it up - layers
