Retiform card


 Hubby came home last night and said I need a card for my boss's birthday tomorrow, something with tools on it or golf stuff.   I  did him a golf card last year, so it was lucky for him, I had  recently bought the new Vintage Tools Stamp set. 

Last night was spent creating this 8x6 inch card. The technique is called  The Retiform Technique, if I remember rightly. It's been a very long time since I've done this technique. The last time I did it  I used navy blue and nautical themed stamps. So it was good to do it again using different colours and stamps.

 I'm sure, I would have done a better job if I hadn't been in such a hurry. To create this card you use post it notes to mask off different areas and brush ink over the edges of the post its.

 Then stamp images  over the area you have inked before moving the post it  to the next area. It does take a little bit of thought and planning to achieve a good result.

 This is not the best example of this technique. 

Perhaps my next tutorial should be on this technique?
