What Do I Do With This?

Hello everyone! Some of the designers at Papertrey Ink are creating with beautiful rain stones this month for the What Do I Do With This Challenge. Today, I have a card that uses rain stones. You might know them by a different name (I called them dew drops and used a similar product over the years).

They are one of my favorite embellishments that can serve several purposes. They can hide small mistakes but they are also great for adding some dimensional sparkle and shine to a project. I love the look of dew-kissed flowers and leaves, so that is how I chose to use them. My card has flowers from the newly released Prosperous Perennials and leaves are die cut from Into the Blooms II die set. I cut the florals from leftover pieces of watercolor paper that was inked with a variety of distress inks then splattered with white paint. The background panel was stenciled with Weathervane dye ink using a hexagon stencil. Rain drops were adhered using Bearly Art precision craft glue and with the aid of a jewel picker tool.

On a side note...there is a flower on my card that is smiling at you - lol! Can you find it?
