If you are thinking this is a strange combination of stamp sets - you would be right! This came about because my original plan was to try doing the Retiform Technique. And here is that attempt:

Wow Gail, looks like you took a circle route to getting your card finished for today's challenge but you sure did an awesome job. Just so you know that retiform looks pretty darned good and I would have thought it was a top notch masculine card on its own, but stepping it up with the modelling paste changed everything. Well done and great card.
ReplyDeleteThanks Penny! Talk about a complete about face. I'll have to practice doing some more retiform and see if I can come up with something.
DeleteHi Gail, yes, sometimes I've had to change directions so radically that it just about made my head spin but bottom line, if you're not happy with what you're creating, you have to either destroy it or alter it until it makes you feel good. I love the way the retiform design is still visible in portions of your redesigned card. The results are really wonderful and would be difficult to copy. You're getting into the habit of creating pieces of art.
ReplyDeleteThanks Heidi! Not sure if I'm creating pieces of art so much as just trying to salvage things. But, whatever it is, it is fun!
DeleteI love it Gail - I adore those colours and last year I was in Tuscany on holiday and this card take me right back there - I think it looks great as a masculine card x
ReplyDeleteThanks Fiona! Lucky you getting to visit Tuscany! I'm happy to know you related to the look I was going for. I really do like this stamp set.
