I made this for today's technique challenge, Faux Dry Embossing. The flower image was stamped with craft white and then again with more mustard onto more mustard card stock. I made a grid pattern on the upper left side and then sponged along the lines on only two sides. Stamped itty bitty backgrounds in MM on the grid section. Sponged the edges. Matted with cream and chocolate chip. On the cream panel behind the main image I made another diamond grid design, sponges two sides and stamped with itty bitty bg. Punched out two borders with Martha Steward punch. Added the ribbon and the circle sentiment.

Gorgeous! I like how you made the grid backgrounds and emphasized the grid by sponging. I like how all the colors work together. That ribbon is perfect! There is a lot going on with this card, but it is all beautifully balanced!
