I kept my background all one piece, but did use blue and green, which are Karen's colours ... well, blue for sure! :) I made this during the recent craft retreat with my friends. It was an experiment of mixed media paper, a good coating of spray starch, and then dropping re-inkers over top. I used Stampin' Up! re-inkers since I have LOTS. I've been wanting to figure out some techniques using re-inkers and this worked really well.
After dropping ink into the spray starch, I placed a large piece of cling wrap over top, scrunching to add creases and folds. I left it to dry overnight and then removed the cling wrap.
I used a beautiful silhouette die-cut flower frame, gifted to me by my good friend, Bonnie. Thanks Bonnie!!
