Still loving my raindrop stencil from Julie Fei-Fan Balzer – this time I used it on denim then stitched the raindrops with a bit of batting inside them. I guess rain does bring flowers. I am so happy I have this for Friday, since that means Paint Party Friday!
This was a canvas I wasn’t in love with so I glued a bunch of left overs from my die cutting with both the Silhouette and my Sizzix.
I slathered paint on and then paused – okay I was stuck. Grabbed some dimensional paint and wrote large words across it.
After the paint had been on a while I decided it wasn’t what I was looking for so I wiped it off. Then happiness struck – there was this great ghost of the word. Oh, happiness! This was also late a night so the lighting wasn’t the best.
Here’s the background in the morning light. I liked this so much I debated leaving it just as it was, but those raindrops just called to me.
I love the colors in your background and your process is so much like mine – don’t like it? Paint/stencil/glue something over it! Your flowers are a perfect addition!
This is lovely – those flowers are just gorgeous and I loved reading about the process of how you took something you weren’t mad about and played around with it until you were happy! Great result!
Wow..super gorgeous…I loved seeing the creative process…fantastic! i also love the color harmonies and feeling of upliftment with your beautiful work!
Shine on..fabulous!

Great to see the process and love that you just go over anything that isn’t working… so trying to get to that myself… love the colours and the textures… this is one of my favourites !!!
So lovely!
And so generous of you to share the step-by-step process! I would have never been able to figure out the steps without your photos and descriptions. 🙂
Lovely work, Carolyn….love those raindrop flowers!

Very pretty! Isn’t it fascinating the gyrations a painting goes through before we consider it done?
LOVE the colors. And those flowers are not only amazing and beautiful but quite ingenious!
