“If you want the rainbow you
gotta put up with the rain.”
~ Dolly
Parton
This quote was just perfect for the framed mini canvas inspired by
the “Raindrops Are Falling” collection.
I designed my mini canvas around the
sweet girl with her umbrella in this collection.
I created the background by stamping the “Crackle Paint”
background stamp onto sticky back canvas.
After trimming the canvas, I sprayed mist over the stamped
background image.
Once dried (I used my heat gun to speed up the process), I
stuck the background canvas onto the photo frame inset.
Layering sky blue and white paint was my next step. Because I
wanted the background stamp
to show through the painted layer I used a
butter knife to scrape off the excess paint.
The girl with her umbrella was then stamped with Archival Ink onto
the canvas.
I used Faber Castel Pitt Pens to color random rain drops on the
rain stamp and then stamped the rain drops on my canvas.
I used a Pitt Pen
to color my girl’s umbrella and boots red, too. I just love the contrast of the
red with the other colors!
To add a little dimension to the stamped rain drops I mixed
glitter with Helmar Craft & Hobby PVA Glue and
then painted the mixture
onto the rain drops. If you look closely you will see that it adds a tiny bit of
glittery sheen to the rain drops.
The quote was my finishing touch.
My daughter loved this so much she asked if she could have it for
her room. Of course she can!
