Well its raining again, not as heavy as the torretial downpour we had last weekend, 83mm in 24hrs..... Was just a tad too much!
Half the state is underwater and more rain is predicted with several towns under threat from the rivers breaking their banks. We have been ok here but check this video out , its at a sportsground nearby...
at least there wouldnt be any crocodiles....
I spent a rainy Saturday making tin foil backgrounds. I saw this bedside table that had been foiled and painted on a blog and thought that make a nice background.
so i stuck crumpled tin foil onto cardbord,in random pieces.

I left gaps on one just to see what would happen. Used a blue serviette to wipe up the gel medium and it left the color behind ...)
Metallic paints.....
metallic paints and alcohol inks...
two sides, one with black stazon rubbed over to hilight the foil....
this one i rubbed runny black paint over half of it so it ran in the cracks...
and a quick card made at 7.30 on Fathers Day morning for my hubby who has been enjoying reading all your lovely comments........

Oh MY on all that rain, leave it to kids to have fun no matter what. Seeing the goal posts really put it in perspective...it's dry as a bone here in Virginia ... feast or famine I guess. Hope things get back to normal for you real soon!
Your foil backgrounds are WOW, thank for sharing the links and how to Jen!
Stay dry dear friend!

Lordy, look at all that water! you really do need wellies up to your waist!
I love your foil art, amazing the way it takes the colours! really interesting effect, the finished card is fab! Mx
Now you know I love this background technique Jen. This is on my to do list. Of course the paints are out all over my table and I have lovely metallics so may give this a go but not yet.
Can't watch vids on dial up, takes forever but did see some things on tv. That is a whack of rain.
Hope Hubs had a wonderful Father's Day. That card is definitely a keeper.

Fabulous card! Hope your weather improves soon x
Hope things have dried up for you Jen. The weather has been so wet hasn't it? I know we are all well and truly tired of the wind and rain down here in Melbourne. And we haven't had anywhere near as much as the country area's.
Your tin foil background is fantastic. You put colors together beautifully.
Hope the sun has been shining up your part of Vic today.
