SPA Challenge - November Rain

November Rain is this weeks Sunday Postcard Art challenge. I wasn't quite sure what to do for this one so I searched the web for quotes, there wasn't many but I found a Ray Bradbury one that I decided to use.

"They read the long afternoon through, while the cold November rain fell from the sky upon the quiet house".


I used Kaisercraft papers for the background and the house, I used pitt pens to give the house a bit of colour. I dry brushed the rain with a fan brush and blue and white acrylic paint and a PaperArtsy metalic glaze, unfortunately you can't see the metalic glaze from the photo.
I used an Invoke Arts stamp for the house.

  9. So atmospheric - the rain looks pretty torrential, full of movement - definitely a good idea to stay in and read!
