Retiform Blog Hop

Today is the Retiform Blog Hop!  I have never done this technique, so after searching online and watching a few youtube videos I gave it a try. 

I started by thinking about colors and selecting stamps.  I decided to go vintage - can you believe it?!?  I love vintage sets but quite honestly I don't use them very often...although today they came out.   

I chose 2 sets "Vintage Backgrounds" and "Fly Fairy" and thought I would try to create a masculine card.  

I started with 2 pieces of white cardstock (1.5" x 3.5" & 3.5" x 5.5"), a black pen and some sticky notes.  I placed the 1.5" x 3.5" piece of cardstock in the center of the 3.5" x 5.5" cardstock, then traced around the rectangle with the black pen.  I sectioned the outer frame. 

The outer frame was masked and the bicycle was stamped in the 1.5" x 3.5" rectrangle.  I used Cognac Palette ink and a sponge to ink the edges.  On the opposite side of the line I sponged Burnt Umber Palette. I repeated that pattern.    

The finished image was matted on Bazzill Raven and the base card is Bazzill Pinecone.  I added a piece of brown twill ribbon to finish it off.

This is a great technique!

Hope you enjoy the rest of the retiform blog hop.

Hope your day is blessed!
