Stamp-A-Faire: Pointillism...

To be honest, I never saw this technique done before so was delighted to see Heather's video. Our challenge is to "create a project using some form of pointillism". I don't know what made me think to use this Christmas set, maybe my brain saw pointillism and thought of poinsettias? lol

I stamped the flower in Versamark ink on white cardstock, sprinkled it with clear embossing powder and heat set it. Next came the fun, filling in the flower with dots. I tried to use a pencil, but apparently old, dried up erasers don't like ink. Then I found an older stamp set, Over Under Easy that had 3 polka dots in it that worked perfectly. I stamped the flower in Berry Sorbet and Pure Poppy inks with Harvest Gold and Summer Sunrise inks in the center.

I fussy cut the flower and placed it on foam tape onto a stitched rectangle cut from Fresh Snow Linen cardstock. The sentiment is stamped in Pure Poppy ink and the panel is adhered to a scalloped Pure Poppy cardstock card base.
