Okay, so today I'm dancing in some sunshine and tomorrow it will be snow. That's life! This week's Compendium of Curiosities challenge was to use the Scribble Stain Distress technique. I don't know that I achieved the same effect that Tim did; when I attempted to activate the Distress re-inker nothing happened. I made numerous tags and still didn't get anything to happen. Sigh. But, these attempts gave me more backgrounds for future use, including one for this tag (raindrops and umbrella man).
All stamps are Tim's with the exception of the dance pattern on the bottom of the tag. That's Dawn Houser's design from Inkadinkado. I can't remember what colors I used...green, blue and brown...sorry. The raindrops were punched out of an extra tag then covered with Glossy Accents and adhered. Umbrella man was stamped on the same tag but in Stormy Sky DI. He got a brown distress edging as did the whole tag. I had some Wraphia that was the perfect color combo.
This wasn't one of my favorite techniques but still fun to see what the results would be using all different color combinations.
