CTMH card making, scrapbooking how to's with MooseTracks InTime

Retiform Technique -

This is a fun project, I made this card for my Dads 84th birthday. You can use any stampset or color you think would look nice.
Ready??

Gather up your supplies.You will need:

Stamp set (I used Wonderful Friend, the June Stamp of the Month), blocks, ink pads ( I used black to stamp and Desert Sand for sponging), sticky notes & sponge.

For this card I used a 5 1/8 x 5 1/8 square of colonial white cardstock for the base.

Stamp you focus point in the center of the card. I used the "dad" stamp, and stamped with black ink.

Then use sticky notes to form a frame around the stamped image. Load your sponge with Desert Sand ink and sponge aournd the edges of the sticky note..

Heres what it looked like when I removed the sticky notes.

Create a new shape (can use any shape) with sticky notes as a mask. Be sure to lay the sticky note over the side of your already sponged image. Place the sticky note right up to the edge of the sponging  to give you nice lines in between each image. Stamp another image in black, letting some of it be masked off by the sticky notes.

Keep masking off shapes, stamping and sponging. ( Be sure to use clean sticky notes each time tho! If you don't you will mess up your card base)  After added several images, and sponging around the edges of the sticky note each time, your card will begin to take shape.

 
Heres what it looked like about half done. Don't forget to line up your sticky note right to the edge of the previously stamped image.
 

Heres the finsihed card. I used a darker cardstock as a mat, added a brad and metal pointer for interest before adding it to my 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 card.
 

Thats It! Hope you enjoyed this and give it a try you will love the results.
