Trying Retiform Technique


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:
Krafty Chicks Challenge: 506 Week Stamp Act-use some form of stamps.
Love To Craft Challenge Blog: LTCCB #46 Anything Goes
Mix It Up Challenge Blog: MIUCB#37 Anything Goes + Masking. Lot of masking on this card.


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.  
Challenges to Enter: 
Always Fun Challenges: #161 Female or Mom Cards
Use Your Stuff: #397 Flowers and/or Butterflies
Shopping Our Stash Challenge: #419 Happy Mother's Day
Modsquad Challenge: Mother's Day- use word Mother.  Hope word Mom counts.

Have a great day! I love reading your comments. Theresa
