For today's Alphabet Letter F:Faux Tile or Grid Technique. I had a lot of fun creating this card!
I started by making the grid then inked up the canvas bg stamp with smoky slate, laid the cs on the stamp and randomly pressed with my fingers to create lighter and darker areas. I stamped 3 blooms in Baja Breeze, fussy cutting them and popped up the larger one. Added sponged ferns-the gray was too light, sequins to the centers, then finally sponged the sentiment and added a sponged gray matting. I used 2 stitched rectangles to create a frame. Thanks for stopping by! ~Roberta
