A few weeks ago, I saw a Gina K YouTube video where she did a technique called Retiform. I gave it a try for some Fathers Day cards and this is how they came out:
To make the cards I used the following:
- Gina K - Vertical Greetings, Wetlands 2, By the Sea 2
- Seaside Stamping Ink - Beach Stories Too
- Stamping Up - By the Tide
- Local King Rubber Stamps - Seaside, Rough Rider
- Close To My Heart - Enjoy Life
- Tim Holtz - Hear and There
- Hero Arts - Sandstone, Cocoa Ink (Brown Card)
- Gina K - Fresh Asparagus, Grass Green (Green Card)
- Gina K - Stormy Sky, Soft Stone (Gray Card)
- Gina K - Blue Denim, Powder Blue (Blue Card)
- Gina K - Master Layouts 1
To make the cards, I masked areas and using a blending brush added ink to create the background areas. This was done with the lighter of the ink colors. I then stamped the images from the various stamp sets into the areas using the darker colored inks making sure to mask the area first. The image was then cut (along with the mat) using Master Layouts 1. The image was added to the mat, and then the entire piece to the card base. The sentiment was stamped, matted and added to the card.
Here are some close ups of the cards:
