Hello. Welcome. Over at The Craft Barn the weekly challenge is Retiform. So glad Jane picked this theme. I had seen Dawn's card and really wanted to try out this technique but probably wouldn't have found the time without this extra little incentive.
I started with a pale grey base and decided to use Watering Can archival. I masked off and sponged on the ink. Forgot to do the edges!!!
Really like the dimension this technique gives. I masked off again and stamped the tiger and happy birthday from Mark's Finest Papers Tiger set. Love that tiger. The 'leaves' around the tiger are actually part of a Sweet Pea stamp, a girl hair!! Kaisercraft butterfly collage cos it was on my desk from last night. A variety of PaperArtsy text and postage related stamps. It was fun to do and I really want to try again with different stamp and colours.

Love the "layers" effect you have managed to achieve with the technique. I had not heard of it before, but just looking at everyones entries which are all so different I have learnt so much and am going to have try so more. x

This looks like lots of layers of paper piled up. It's a great effect.
