I hadn't done retiform in a while and actually, I just kind of made this up as I went, not truly following the rules. The leaf is stamped in the Stazon olive, with a little bit of the burgundy rolled around the edge. The burgundy is quite light on the glossy cs, but trust me, it's burgundy. I added a little metallic gold and olive to it, just to give it some shine, although it doesn't show up well in the photo. My acrylic charm actually has a primitive bird on it so I had my dessert (life is short, eat dessert first). A couple of wooden beads and it's done. I'm quite pleased with this look actually.

That is an awesome leaf stamp, I like how it's got a steampunk vibe with the gears on it. Been a long time since I've seen retiform and it's so fun, great job!

The hardest part about doing Retiform is trying to decide what stamps to use for each part, but you did it all in the same stamp and I love that idea!! Perfect! I'll revisit this technique!! Thanks for the inspiration!
