This is that old technique called retiform - where you use post it notes and sponges and ink pads....it's so fun! Masculine cards are never my forte, but I am always glad when someone chooses that as their theme because then I actually make one!! Welcome to LeAnn, my new partner on the Color Challenge Design Team on pulling off her first challenge tonite!! I am looking forward to working with you LeAnn!! Happy Tuesday everyone!!

I simply cannot stop looking at your exquisite retiform background. It really is the most beautiful example of this technique that I have seen yet.
Hope you and your family have been doing well, my friend!

Karen, your card is absolutely stunning. I love the retiform technique that you used; I've never tried it but this is really tempting me! Your globe and greeting are absolutely perfect!

Karen, your card is beautiful and a great interpretation of a masculine card. I really love how you've used the colors and the technique you've used. I am inspired to give that technique a try.
