Stamping with the STARS #373: Retiform Technique Christmas Season

The DOstamperSTARS are excited to bring you another Stamping with the STARS Inspiration Hop #DOswts373.  This week we’re sharing a stamping technique called Retiform.

The word Retiform means (I had to look it up):

This was definitely a challenge for my STARS Team (and myself).  But after a couple of tries, we all got it.  For me, I tried two different ways of creating the intersecting sections and found one way much easier to do.  I will make a video on how to do it and will share it soon.

Here’s my Christmas Season Retiform Technique card…

How’d She DO That? Painted Christmas Retiform card

• Stamps:  Christmas Season, Christmas to Remember
• Paper:
  • Evening Evergreen (5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ card base)
  • Basic White (4″ x 5-1/4″ and scrap for sentiment)
• Ink:  Evening Evergreen, Soft Suede, Cherry Cobbler
• Other:  Sponge Daubers, Simply Elegant Trim, Stampin’ Seal, Stampin’ Dimensionals & Sticky Notes for masking

Now that I have the Retiform Stamping Technique “mastered” – I will definitely be doing it again.  Give it a try – you’ll feel like an artist.  My husband thought I “air-sprayed” the lines.   They were sponged, using a sponge dauber and straight-edge paper for “masking”.

The Christmas Season & Christmas to Remember stamps are from the Painted Christmas Suite Collection.  A fabulous suite that is perfect for the holiday season.  Add it to your shopping cart today.
