This bg was created using the Retiform grid technique. It was inspired by a picture I have hanging in my hallway.
Now that I have more time I'll explain how I created the bg. First I masked the card front leaving one area open at a time,then stamped using 3 SU bg stamps in each area. I sponged the edges as I went along with Early Espresso Ink. The flowers were colored with Bravo Burgundy and blender pen. The stems are just strips of Artichoke cs.
Thanks for looking!

Ooooooh, how beautiful!! I love this technique and haven't used it for so long. I noticed artwork like this so often when we were traveling and vowed I'd try to recreate it when I got home. I love that this challenge gives everyone a glimpse into our own lives and spaces. I'm so glad you could play along today!!
