Firstly I embossed the umbrella and the dog and masked them off. I wet the paper all around the mask and sprinkled Brusho at the top of the paper, letting it drip down. Once the blue was dry I wet the paper under the umbrella and let the yellow run upwards. Using a wet paint brush some of the paint could be moved around to create the puddle underneath. The sentiment was stamped and rain drops added with paint on the edge of a credit card. Finally a little stamping was added to the edge to create a frame before adding the calendar.
Materials used:
watercolour paper
Brusho: ultramarine, turquoise, black, lemon, yellow
Ranger Archival Ink: jet black
Ranger Distress embossing ink
Stampendous embossing powder: midnight black
PaperArtsy Fresco Finish Paint: little black dress
Tando mask: accessorise

Kaisercraft clear stamps: edges
