Today’s card is continuing to focus on retiring products. I saw this technique from Jennifer McGuire that she called Bold Background Coloring. The flower I used, from this retiring stamp set, could have been fussy cut out and applied to a black piece of cardstock, but if you prefer to color over fussy cutting, then this technique is for you.
