Stamp-a-Faire: Pointillism

Good evening,
       Trying to squeak in one last card for Stamp-a-faire before tomorrow morning's deadline. Playing along with Heather's challenge: Pointillism.  I was rather dubious about the look when I first viewed the video, but after playing along, I really like the uniqueness of the look. Hopefully, I'll remember this technique for the future.

I think it took me longer to sponge the background than actually doing all the dots on the trees. Just received my Clarity Stencil Brushes today so I really wanted to try them out. Love how the background evolved; much better than when I use the various blending tools I have.
Thanks for stopping by to take a peek.

Stamp-a-Faire: Starry Night

Good Morning,
       I started this card Sunday evening and finished it this morning. This is one of my favorite paintings of Van Gogh. However, one can not find it in his museum in Amsterdam. I was so disappointed when visiting that museum several years ago.
    I love the technique that Amy used to create this night sky.  My sky did not come out as dark because I wanted to stamp my tree in Enchanted Evening. I am submitting this for PTI's Stamp-a-Faire Starry Night challenge.

Well, that's another Christmas card down. Thanks for stopping by to take a peek.

Stamp-a-Faire: master Color Recipes

Good evening,
        I'm finally getting the opportunity to post my first Stamp-a-faire project. I wasn't thinking when I invited another couple over for dinner on Saturday. That meant cleaning and prepping all day Saturday and entertaining Saturday evening. They must have had a good time since they left after midnight.
       I had planned to spend this afternoon working on a few projects, but was waylaid by a couple of lengthy phone calls.
       The  challenge  is Stamp-a-Faire: Master Color Recipes. One is to Create your own project utilizing one of the color schemes presented.  
This is the color scheme I chose.

Here's my card using my favorite stamp set. Floral Sketches.

At first I wasn't going to stamp a sentiment because I didn't know what occasion I wanted to use the card for. But after I sponged the Lavender Moon on the bottom of the card, I got a few smudges on it, so I stamped the sentiment to hide the smudges. I added the strip of Blueberry Sky to cover the unevenness of my blending.

Thanks for stopping by to take a peek.

Stamp-A-Faire: Masterpiece

Since I haven't posted in quite a few  months and wasn't taking photos of my cards, my pickings were limited.  However, the card I have chosen is one of my all time favorites.  It was done for Pti's Make it Monday :2015 A la Carte.  I chose  #215: BRINGING THE INSIDE OUT by Danielle Flanders.

      

Here's a close up of the Inside coming out.

Thanks for stopping by to take a peek. I hope you like my Masterpiece!
