I bet you know exactly that spring/summer weather when the sun is shining but somewhere on the horizon there are gathering rainclouds and everything becomes grey. I wanted to visualise this when it's raining but the sun is still shining.
I created a 14x18 cm board from a chipboard. I gessoed with 3 layers then I applied different colours of chalk crayon. I spritzed the surface to blend the colours.
First I stamped with Ranger Archival Ink (Coffee) then with Ranger Distress Embossing Ink for the Ranger Distress Embossing Powder (Peeled Paint).
I inked the edges with Ranger Distress Ink (Gathered Twigs).
And below you can see that I put tiny drops from the Ranger Glossy Accents all around the surface to create raindrops.
What I used:
Ranger Distress Embossing Powder (Peeled Paint)
chipboard, wire
chalk crayons
With my board I would like to join the following challenges:

What an absolutely clever and original take on our challenge theme! You are absolutely right about how the world looks when the rain is gathering and I love how you re-created that here and paid homage to that "grey" period in between sunshine and rain. I love the look of this and especially like how you added some shine and texture with the Glossy Accent raindrops. You employed some fabulous techniques and I'm so glad you shared your talents with us for this week's Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant panel. I love that Umbrella man and I must say, the glossy accents work very well as rain. Lovely work.

Snap! I went with Umbrella Man too. You've created a super hanging and the Glossy Accent raindrops are the perfect finishing touch.
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely, Monika - I love the depth you've created with the trees, and I always love Umbrella Man! Thanks for joining us on A Vintage Journey.
