I'm on a day off today and was delighted to have time to play along with Angie's Tears Can Be a Good Thing HYCCT challenge.
I love wrinkle-free distress, it has long been a go-to background technique for me. Here I used forest moss, vintage photo and stormy sky.
When it was dry, I stamped the tree from Season of Friendship, and one leafy branch (Memento Rich Cocoa and Bamboo Leaves). Then I added the sentiment and the bird. With a bit of reverse masking I added some music behind the bird and in the corner of the sky, using Stormy Sky. I coloured the bird and drew in some grass with pencils. Embossed the whole panel with TE Raindrops (which look like tears) and added sparkle to some of them. Sponged the edges and added to a green base stamped with a music background stamp.
This makes me think of that lovely hymn: "I trace the rainbow through the rain, and feel the promise is not vain that morn shall tearless be."
