I’m so happy that Helen has taken up Rudolph’s reins, so that we can continue to be inspired to make our Christmas cards throughout the year.
The new site Rudolph Days Challenge is HERE
Maureen did a fabulous job of running this challenge for so long, for which we are all so grateful.
So here’s my card
This was meant to be a relatively quick and simple make 🙄
The technique challenge from 52 Christmas card Throwdown, which gave me this idea was….
I still had the Uniko stencil out, which I thought would give the effect without too much masking.
I’m trying to use up neglected stash and had some card blanks with a slight texture.🙄🙄
This did not help with the stamping, but I persevered, getting numerous stamp sets out to fit my sections.
I still had to mask off bits, and wipe ink off the stencil after stamping,
to prevent it transferring.🙄🙄🙄🙄
My final challenge was getting a decent photo in this dim and dismal light! 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
This was my first photo attempt, before trying numerous positions and lights.
Do visit these challenges for lots of inspiration and without the eye rolls 😂

Gorgeous card! I wish I had that stencil! Jo x
ReplyDeleteA brilliant take on retiform. Yay for Rudolph Day continuing xxx
ReplyDeleteYou've certainly done a grand job of using this technique and the finished result is brilliant. I often mix dies and/or stamps from various sets but it is a bit of a task putting them all back 'home' when the project is completed 🙄🙄
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea to use the Uniko stencil for your retiform technique Lesley! Love the effect. I'm amused by the idea of all those little stamps piling up on your desk - oh the joys of clearing up! Vicky x
ReplyDeleteI can only imagine the time it took to make this fabulous card by stamping so many images through a stencil, but I love the end result! Well done!
ReplyDeleteThis card is great fun and having made one similar some time agi, I know just how much work is involved, so well done! Kate P. x
ReplyDeleteThat's such a great card and that stencil is perfect for cardio and the like stamps. I found by chance that Helen is now running this new to me challenge so have joined in too this time.
ReplyDeleteHi Lesley,
ReplyDeleteoh I love this wonderful card it's gorgeous and that sterncil used is fantastic.
Love all the little stamped images in each of those sections.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
Beautiful Christmas card. You used the retiform technique perfectly Thanks for playing at 52 CCT challange.
ReplyDeleteThat is amazing! So much detail and I'm not surprised you were left with a pile of stamps!
