I began by creating a background using the watercolour ink-smooshing technique and Distress Oxides. I stencilled the raindrops and stamped the flowers and butterflies using Distress Oxide. I die-cut the inky panel with a stitched rectangle and adhered the die-cut birds. I stamped the sentiment and mounted the rectangle on a grey panel and then a white card base.
Dies: STAMPlorations For the Birds - CUTplorations, Whimsy Stamps Hand Stitched Nested Rectangles
Stamps: STAMPlorations Frames and Flowers, sentiment from STAMPlorations Vignette Trendy Feathers
Stencil: Dreamweaver Stencil Rain
Ink: Distress Oxides (Mustard Seed, Squeezed Lemonade, Scattered Straw, Hickory Smoke), Versafine Onyx Black
