I am giving a big hug to all Aussies today. What would we do without their beautiful creations here on SCS? They're a very talented bunch. I am not doing a case of any particular card but I always notice Susie Australia's beautiful, intriguing backgrounds (not that I can replicate them) and she has done quite a few rainy day backgrounds so this is a card dedicated to her.
I crumpled foil (not too tightly), open it, and swiped my colors on it for the background, then misted with water. I put my w/c paper face down into it. Let that dry.
Placed my stencil onto the dried bg and used Rich Cocoa to place color into it. On some of the stencil, I just rubbed my stain over it and placed it face down onto my paper. Next, I stamped my trickling water and used a white gel pen in the highlighted spots.
I stamped, colored, and fussy cut my flowers. I popped them on with dimensionals.
I don't know yet what I'll use my card for so didn't stamp a sentiment.
Hope you're having fun, Susie, while you're away.
Edited because I thought it needed some color around photo.

Oh wow Brenda this is amazing!! I could get lost in this wonderful "weirdo arty stuff I love" creation. The rain drops and background stamping add an extra fabulous layer. The icing on the cake are the gorgeous flowers. I feel very honoured my friend, big hugs right back at you.
