Spring Rain Blessings...
   Hello friends!  Today's card features a cute stamp set from Penny Black (spring blessings) and watercoloring using Distress inks (peeled paint, crushed olive, worn lipstick, victorian velvet).  To start, I ink blended "tumbled glass" (distress ink) across a raindrop stencil (SSS), let dry for a minute or 2 then applied Wendy Vecchi's translucent embossing paste over same stencil.  Next, I stamped images onto Strathmore's mixed media and white heat embossed.  I then began watercoloring using a light wash of water and coloring, building intensity and shadows.  To finish, I assembled elements and adhered to card base, stamped/white heat embossed sentiment on vellum, and added clear drops.  Thanks so much for stopping by...take care!
