Good Morning.
Today, I am playing with this new stamp called 'In Paris' from Penny Black.
I can only imagine what it would be like to travel and see the Eiffel Tower.
I wanted to try and depict the sense of rain so here's what I did.
I began by placing the stamp inside my Misti, inked it with Memento black ink and stamped onto my card front. I clear heat embossed it so it would resist the ink I was about to add.
Next, I took a piece of acetate, inked it up with Peacock Feathers Distress Oxides, sprayed with water and pressed onto my paper. I repeated that process again using some Salty Ocean and a touch of Faded Jeans DOX.
To see a pictorial I did go here:
I love the way the inking gave my card such a feeling of being in the rain.
Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

Oh, Karen, how I love to see you beautiful backgrounds! One of these days soon I really hope to try something like this. I have the inks and just need to start and play. Hehe! But this background is stunning with the Eiffel Tower and lends itself to a rainy and lovely day in Paris. Yes, wouldn't it be fun to see the Eiffel Tower? Warm hugs, sweet friend! Spring is coming! xoxo
Wow that background is fabulous...how perfect your stamp looks on it ....love it xxx

You have absolutely captured the feeling of rain, Karen. Such a beautiful scene of Paris. TFS your card and your steps. Hugs...
That technique and those colors work wonderfully for rain! Great card.
Love this technique and your beautiful Eiffel Tower street scene. The Penny Black stamp image is a delight and your combination of oxide inks for your backdrop perfectly showcases a rainy day in Paris. Thanks so much Karen for joining our Watercooler Wednesday Challenge this week and sharing your beautiful scenic card.
Fabulous card karin x
Karen, that Penny Black stamp is incredible. I love the images, especially since they are such a deep black on your card, having been heat embossed. But it's your incredible background of Distress Oxides which brings the scene to life. Those three colours are magical together. Beautiful work! Thanks so much for joining our Watercooler Wednesday Challenge this week.
