Stamping With The Stars #DOswts373

Stamping With The STARS 
Retiform Technique
Inspiration Hop
Ok folks! Retiform technique is a new one for me.  But, I think you will be surprised (as I was) to see how easy and how much fun this new technique is.  It requires a couple, actually quite a few, post-it notes, a blending sponge, some ink, and a favorite stamp set.  How do you like it?

I decided to use the Nature's Beauty cling stamp set because there were six images that I thought would work well with this technique. Since this looks like a fall or even winter scene, I decided to stamp the images in Soft Suede ink and use Crumb Cake ink for the sponging. I began with a 5 1/8" x 3 7/8" piece of thick Very Vanilla cardstock and sectioned off the lower corner with a post-it note. I sponged the edges and then stamped the image. 

I kept covering up the previously stamped sections with the post-it notes, sponging the edges and then stamping the image.  I used a LOT of post-it notes!
The panel was glued to a 5 1/4" x 4" mat in Early Espresso card stock.  Dimentions were then added to the back and attached to a Mossy Meadow card base (5 1/2" x 8 1/2  and scored at 4 1/4").  The Label Me Fancy punch was used with Very Vanilla card stock that was matted with both Mossy Meadow and Early Espresso card stock. 
The sentiment, from A Wish For Everything cling stamp set, was stamped with Early Espresso ink, and the embellishments are the Playing With Patterns resin dots that are colored with Mossy Meadow Blender Pens. I threaded the Early Espresso faux suede trim ribbon through the label and tied that with a piece of Very Vanilla bakers twine.
Using a Very Vanilla 5 1/4" x 4" card stock mat, I stamped the 3 little forest creatures in the corner, sponged the edges and adhered this to the inside of the card.  I hope you enjoyed learning about this super cool technique! Thanks for visiting!  ....SCB

    October Stamping With The Stars

    Stamping With The STARS 
    Sketch Inspiration Hop
    Welcome to another Stamping with the Stars Blog Hop.  

     Here is the sketch.

    And, here is my interpretation of the sketch...



    A Wish For Everything cling stamp set truly has just that - a sentiment for (almost) everything!  It is an ideal stamp set to own. 


    This was such a fun sketch to do.  I love this designer series paper and the Timeworn Print embossing folder adds just that extra level of texture.


    I always like to finish the inside of my cards and the strip of designer series paper at the bottom just adds that crisp finish.
