I haven't made a waterfall card in a long time. These small animals
seemed to me to be the perfect size
to place on a waterfall card.
To make the background of my card,
I took my brayer and I wrapped rubber bands
around it. I then rolled the brayer using brown ink.
I randomly rolled the ink. The end result kinda
looked like leather to me. 

I have always used THIS TUTORIAL by Dawn to make my
waterfall cards. She makes it so easy.

    Wonderful waterfall card, something I've never made but will have to try. I really like the technique you used with the brayer and rubber bands..makes a super bg.

    There are some wonderful techniques here. Like the rubber band use for the jungle look. I made a waterfall card once with Butterflies. Wild about this stamp set. Wonderful creations. On my bucket list is to go on an African Safari. I used Be Wild & Free for the Simple Salutations Ch#3 Tree and used 2 inks to color it.
