Default "FAUX" rain puddle anyone?

Hey there! Do any of you know how to make a rain puddle instead of using a stamp?
I think I have seen them done with an oval punch but cannot find a sample for the life of me.
Any help or links would be much appreciated. :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Maybe not quite what you are looking for, but could you use Crystal Effects??

I am going to use CE to fill in the puddle but I need the shape of the puddle itself. I am sooooo not an artist so drawing it freehand is outta the question!
Thanks for your reply sweetie and have a BLAST at DW! :mrgreen:

Thanks! I intend to. ;)

Could you just freehand the shape with the CE or does that not work with the card?

For simplicity, how about an oval punched out mask using a post-it-note and then sponged with blue ink? Finish with crystal effects.

You could use an oval or circle punch as a template.

I punched a thin piece of rubber gasket material (sold in sheets at Home Depot) with both sized oval punches and mounted them on wood blocks to use for this.

Not sure if it's what you're looking for, but here's a card a did using both...HTH!

Love this idea. Can you tell me where in the store you found the rubber & how much it is?
