Happy Monday everyone. I had hoped to upload this earlier but time got away from me today. I did this for today's TLC225 Faux Handmade paper. What a messy but fun technique. I have to be honest that his paper was not my first try. I had to keep experimenting with the right colors. The ribbon rose flowers I created with ribbon.
