I thought I'd try the retiform technique with the card I made for the challenge at:
The stamp sets featured in this card are:
Stampin Up: Vintage Leaves
Stampin Up: For All Things
I have made a retiform card in the past, however I forgot how, so wanted to look it up, I forgot it required shading and such. I included a picture with no shading and the same leaf.. It looks a bit cleaner to me, but yet busy. Well actually they both look a bit busy. However the top card that I'm submitting to the challenge seemed to have a warmer "autumn" feel to it.
Oh gosh this kleenex box card is super cute, I can't wait to make a few more. I think they be perfect for gift giving.
Talking about gifts, I thought I'd make gift certificates too.. so parents could put them in lunch boxes, or on pillow tops to reward good behavior with ice cream, extra screen time, or perhaps a movie with mom or dad.
Lastly I'm proud of this little card calendar.. it is perfectly sized to fit in the standard A2 card envelopes, and yet will stand up on a desk or counter top with out tipping because I glued a strip on the inside to keep if from falling on itself.
Gosh I enjoy making projects.
Now let's just hope I sell a few items at my shop.
Thank you for stopping by for a visit.
Keep Smiling and Keep Stamping
