Raindrops keep falling...

Good afternoon all,


I hope you enjoyed the festive season - it's all soon over though and back to normal.  I also hope you all managed to remain safe and dry through all this rain!  I has been a dark and dismal day here with just a little break in the afternoon when it stopped raining and there was a rather lovely sunset, then back to wind and rain!
So with that in mind, here is an appropriate card which I did as a sample for the last Clarity shows on Hochanda using the huge texture stencil to create the background and the little boy from the Wee Folk set

I started by using blue and brown distress inks to colour the background - I did a bigger piece than this and chopped it back later.  When I was happy with the colour, I put the stencil over the top and added darker blue, then had a peak and decided it needed me to outline with a fine brown pen
I removed some of the colour toward the 'top' of each droplet by brushing with water, then dabbing with paper towel and added a white highlight with a gel pen towards the 'bottom' of each one.
I also added extra colour under the bottom line of the stencil too.
It was just a case of cutting to size, adding the little boy and the 'Happy' word in brown archival (and inking round the edge, of course!)
