Cardz 4 Galz Design Team Project - Challenge #79

Hello and thanks for visiting!  Today I'm sharing my design team project for the Cardz 4 Galz Challenge #79.  The theme this round is Beautiful Backgrounds:  Create your own background and NO designer/patterned papers allowed.

This was a fun one for me, I chose to use the Retiform Technique.  The technique is an oldie but a goodie and it's been awhile since I've used it; I'd forgotten how enjoyable this technique is to create.

I pulled out 5 different stamp sets, some distress oxide inks in the colors wild honey, salty ocean, vintage photo and worn lipstick as well as white, black and kraft card.  I accented with faux pearls for the finishing touch.  One tip I have for you … be sure to allow the ink to dry before stamping.  I worked on a section at a time...a little time consuming but well worth the effort.

I hope you were inspired to create your own background without using patterned papers and to try this Retiform technique.  Please join us at Cardz 4 Galz this round for some fun and inspiration.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Donna
