TLC891 Spring Retiform

Photo Details

Poster: Jennifrann

This was a fun technique to try out this week! I did try it with Copic markers, but I didn't like the results. I'm sure I'll figure out how to use it some day, but for this card I used Distress Oxides. I wish I had chosen a different green, because the Rustic Wilderness covered all the colors too much. But it did make a happy and cheerful background for this sweet image that Terry Serman sent for our Monthly Image Swap. It is not at all the kind of stamp that I would buy, but I really like it and I sure had fun coloring it up.
