(VERSION 2 - BECAUSE NO TWO RETIFORMS LOOK ALIKE!)
This is my first "Technique Lovers Challenge" ever! THis week, the focus is on anything vintage. I decided to try my hand at Retiform, which looks so cool to me, and "shabby" it up to meet the challenge!
I love how this turned out - on the main image layer, the combination of sponged ink and Anna Griffin stamps gave the look of the DSP I used (Bella Bleu by Stampin' Up). How neat is that?!
Although you have to look hard, there are three teeny tiny pearls on the image's bow and tassel. See them? Aren't they cute?
THanks so much for looking!

Welcome to the TLC! This is a beautiful card and the retiform goes well with the card. I never thought of retiform as a vintage technique, but I will think of it that way after this!
