Hello! Wednesday I posted a card that was very quick to create and today I have 2 cards that took quite a bit of time to create. Just finding the stamps that I used took a bit of time. I used the retiform technique that I saw on a Gina K video. This technique uses sticky notes and sponges to mask off areas of the card and then stamp in each area. I used mostly Gina K Design stamps from Gifts from the Sea for my first try at the technique. The sentiment is from another GKD set. The bird head on left is a Repeat Impressions stamp. Other Supplies: White CS, Brown CS, Memento Inks, Distress Oxide Inks.
Challenges:

My second card using the Retiform technique was made for Mother's Day. I used stamps from several GKD sets including Whimsical Wildflowers, A Year of Flowers 2, Birds & Blossoms, Handmade Botanicals, and Needle Works. Other supplies: White CS, Coral CS, Memento Inks, Distress Oxide Inks, Copics.

Fantastic retiform cards. I have not made any of these in ages. They are fun to do too as I recall.
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are amazing Theresa. That technique is so tricky. Have only done it once and wasn't nearly as good as yours. Thabnks for sharing with us at Mix It Up this month.
