Mix-Ability - Raindrops and Puddle Jumps

Lydia's Mix-Ability challenge this week is a fun one - she has some steps for drawing water droplets, and the challenge is to incorporate them into a mixed media project. I had this background in my stash from an experimental day gone by, and I decided to use it for a rainy day card.

I *think* this was a piece done with Inktense blocks and Embossing Folder Monoprinting... but I've slept since then.

 


Here are Lydia's steps, if you'd like to try this yourself:

Draw a circle with a pen.

Shade half of the circle a bit with the same pen.

Using the same pen, do some stippling below the shading on the inside of the droplet, as well as OUTSIDE the droplet opposite the shading.

Using a white gel pen, add a highlight to the top of the shaded part of the droplet as well as to the unshaded side of the inside of the droplet.

My focal image is a new release stamp called Puddle Jump - she's stamped in hybrid ink and then colored over with a Distress marker for a deeper black image. The sentiment is from my Warm Fuzzies clear set.

Hope you'll come play along with us!
