Make A Splash

Happy Friday! DT Annalisa here, today I’m sharing a spring scene featuring a Distress Oxide watercoloured background and the Rain or Shine Mice A4 Printed Cardstock from Time For Tea Designs. I love how this rainy-day card turned out.

To create the background, I used Stormy Sky and Peeled Paint Distress Oxides on watercolour paper. I smooshed each ink onto acetate, spritzed it with water, then pressed the acetate onto the paper. I added another light spritz of water and repeated the process, heat-setting between layers. To finish, I added white splatter for extra interest.

Next, I adhered the inked panel to a card base using liquid glue. I die-cut grey cardstock with the Stitched Window Cover Die and attached the frame to the card base.

I then die-cut the mice and coordinating elements from the Rain or Shine Mice A4 Printed Cardstock using the coordinating dies. The small flowers are from the Just Married stamp set, which I also die-cut with coordinating dies. I used a combination of liquid glue and 1mm double-sided foam tape to adhere all the elements to the card.
