Technique Blog Hop ~ Retiform

I have to tell you I really struggled to come up with stamps that I thought I could showcase for this technique, Then I remembered that adorable image from Mice Day that had drawn me to the set... No other small compatible images in that set no problem, I just went to the Sew Thankful set to fill in the other retiform grids...

I already knew I loved the retiform card Avis Anderson had done with these images...

I think that while the end card came out nice these 2 colors Charcoal and L'Amore Red weren't strong enough on my card to really show this technique, but having spent so much time on this card I couldn't bring myself to start over. After I was done I used the Running Stitches set to frame each grid, it was off a little and the seamstress in me wishes I would have done real stitching!

I had a lot of fun once I started playing with technique and will me giving this another try!

Supplies: T-3301 Mice day,T-3288 Sew Thankful, T-2610 Running Stitches, Memento Tuxedo Black, White Premium CS, Black CS, Scarlet CS, Black Grosgrain Ribbon, MS Border Punch, Copics

I hope you will try your hand at this and will participate for some awesome blog candy from Mischelle Smith of The Angel Company, be sure and check out the inspiring Retiform creations from these other talented stampers on the Savy Projects blog!

Deck the Halls Blog Hop

I have three holiday cards to share with you today... Please click Here to check out more wonderful "Angel Company" creations on this blog hop...

My first card... was inspired by a card by Lisa Henke in the Nov/Dec Papercrafts magazine.

I stamped the poinsettia with Moonlight White Brilliance ink on kraft cs then mounted it to a red card base, I added a strip of corrugated cardboard that had been colored with a Copic marker and a silk poinsettia flower with a jingle bell. The sentiment was stamped with L'Amore Red Palette ink.

Stamps: T-3416 Poinsettia

On my second card I embossed the poinsettia with Galaxy Gold Brilliance ink & Clear EP and colored with my Copics, I stamped 3 of the flowers and cut apart so it would be 3 dimensional... using pop dots in between each layer. I also colored the ribbon & rhinestones with my Copics to match... it was mounted to some corrugated cardboard that I trimmed with lace and mounted to an ivory card base.

Stamps: T-3416 Poinsettia

My third card uses a Nestabilites Petite Oval and a Labels 8. I stamped the bird on my oval white cs die cut using Memento Rich Cocoa... I accented with my clear Stardust Gelly pen. I matted to a die cut shape of corrugated cardboard and another brown cs die cut shape, I embellished with red organza ribbon and attached to a red card base.

Stamps: T-3141 Peace
