Yesterday someone on our team page posted a card that used a technique called Retiform or Grid technique. I had never heard of it before but it looked really cool. So of course I turned to my go to crafty research app Pinterest!
This technique really isn't difficult. I'm not advanced at stamping, I'm still learning and have a long way to go. So for this technique I chose a beach theme because I needed to make my SIL a birthday card and she loves the beach. So I gathered my No Worries, Swirly Seashells, and Birthday Sparkles stamp sets. I cut my white Daisy to 5x3 3/4". The Seaglass is cut at 5 1/4"x4". You'll also need a sponge dauber, two inks, a scrap of paper that has a longer straight edge, and some post it notes. This post is really photo heavy but you'll be able to see how easy it is. Some tips that I have are that you have to watch if the ink is soaking through the post it note so you might want to try to use an additional scrap of paper. I am going to try that myself next time just to see which I prefer to use. The inks that I used were Sea Glass and Juniper.
Here are the two cards that I created with this technique. I used foam tape for a little dimension on these cards.
If you have any questions feel free to ask. I've linked some of the products that were used below, or you can find more products on my site at justineharris.closetomyheart.com. Thanks for reading.
