The idea of rain came to me pretty quickly but I wasn't 100% sure what to do after that. I figured that out when I was flipping through my notebook of stamps in my stash and saw these older sentiments by Papertrey. There were a number of them that I really liked and I was wishing I would have noticed them earlier when I was sending so many pandemic cards.
I used Distress Oxides to blend the background. I used a darker (yet still bright) blue at the top since it was supposed to be "stormy" then a lighter blue then a green. Then I picked four fresh and cheerful colors for the rainbow (the die set has larger ones too but I just used the smaller ones that fit on my background.)
I hope to see you playing along with us this week at Freshly Made Sketches.
