Stampotique April Showers


Toby looked out through the rain drop covered window at dusk and was pleased to see that Mothloved was walking through the garden on her way home as it looked like the rain showers were about to get heavy

The background was created with Distress Inks, Peacock Feather, Persimmon, Seedless Preserve, Walnut Stain and Black Soot and then spritzed allowed to drip and spread and left to dry
I then dry bushed white acrylic diagonally to symbolize rain

I then stamped Tenticurl, Seaweed, Stalks, Spidergrass and Dandelion in the foreground

Mothloved was stamped on a separate piece of card, her umbrella was made from Goosenecks skirt and legs and coloured with Promarkers

Small Moon was shining brightly on the Owl Tree highlighted with white acrylic

    Fab creation and so atmospheric, looks just like my view from the window lol, (Love Scotland, but not the weather...). Those raindrops look incredible, - I've seen them before here and there, but no one so far has managed to make them look so 3D.... Love the whole feel of this piece!

    Very atmospheric Jools! The mix of characters remind me of a Tim Burton film! Great use of Water Droplets. Thanks so much for sharing this with me :) I'll add it to my next customer creation blog post and add your name to April's draw for a free stamp. To be announced on the first of next month. All my best!
