The F4A241 was to repeat a stamp. This scene is really 3 seperate stamps. I stamped the cloud 3 times on the image for bg and 3 more times to pop up. The trees along the waterline are one stamp used 3 times. For the reflection I put the clear plastic sheet from the "thing a ma jig" over the trees and stamped them onto the plastic. Then I flipped the plastic over-ink side down- lined it up with the base of the stamped trees, and pressed onto the water area of the image. I made water ripples with my white gel pen. This is one of my favorite scenes to make and I always use the same colors...I was getting a little bored with it. The SC508 gave me the idea to cut it into panels.
The MMTPT322 was to use a rain theme. My husband and I were hiking in the local mountains on a beautiful summer day when, out of no where, huge black clouds rolled in and we got soaked. So when I saw the rrain theme, this scene came to mind. I made the top bkg panel by sponging black distress ink over my cloud stencil. I love to make these sponged scenes. Great challenges at SCS this week. TFL, Francie

Francie, this is so well composed that it looks like one scene cut in three! What vibrant colors you chose for this scene and your reflection technique is done to perfection! I can't get over that you even stamped your background panel! Incredibly beautiful work!

OH my gosh, Francie, this is FABULOUS! Beautiful job on the reflection technique, and I love how you added trees to the original stamped image. The triptych looks awesome!

Wow Francie, what a great scene you created. It makes me want to go hiking out in the mountains -- hopefully not while it's raining. You displayed some impressive techniques here as well.
