I'm back from my trip and back to the challenges!This is my submission for today's Technique Challenge - to use the Grid Technique. This was perfect for me since my new Scor-Pal arrived while I was gone and I got to try it out right away! I used Beate's tutorial here: Grid Technique Tutorials at Splitcoaststampers
After scoring my CS, I sponged around the edges then stamped the background lightly with Linen and Itty Bitty Backgrounds in Mellow Moss. I used my SAMJ to stamp the blossoms and leaves from Blossoms Abound. Some brads and ribbon finished it off.
Thanks, Beth, for the challenge and TFL!

I'm sorry to see this stamp set retiring. This is gorgeous with the tiles.
