SAF 2016: Pointillism Play

How fun was this! Thanks for a fun video Heather. I don't have many outline stamps, so I had to try something a little different. I cut out my popsicles then used an eraser and a tiny dot stamp to color them in and make my boarder:

I combined colors to trick your eye like Seurat too:

Summer Sunrise + Hawaiian Shore = greenish

Summer Sunrise + Berry Sorbet = orangish

Pure Poppy + Ocean Tides = purplish

Supplies:

Summer Sweetness set

dots from Songbirds

Shakers & Sprinkles die

PTI Inks

Thanks for stopping by,

SAF 2016: Starry Night

After seeing what mom had made my daughter 'Artsy' had to make a card too!

She ink blended blue and embossed white stars from the 'Clipsters' set.

She used a 'happy' negative for her sentiment.

It's fun to have craft buddies =)

Papertrey July Blog Hop Challenge

Blog Hop

Wow where have I been...finishing homeschool, going to a conference, going to Oregon, and because I'm 38 weeks prego taking naps when I used to create!  I'm sure I will have another MIA time when our little surprise arrives. I was happy to get to join today!

Here was our lovely inspiration photo:

I was inspired by the triangles, colors, and gold accents:

I dry embossed a triangle background, painted 'happy' with a little gold paint, then added gold sequins or thread.

Supplies:

One Big Happy set

Thanks for stopping by and happy hopping!

SAF 2016: Starry Night

Papertrey Ink is such a fun company. It's time for their Stamp-a-faire day! I had grand plans of getting a babysitter and participating this year...finally...then life happened. We have two parties to attend this afternoon. But before the kids got up this morning I got to squeeze in the Starry Night challenge:

I ink blended, splattered water, silver and white paint as Amy showed us.

Then added black silhouettes (inspired by one of Betsy's recent cards) and sentiments. 

What a fun project and I enjoyed learning more about Van Gogh while creating.

Supplies:

Petite Places Mountain dies

Life is Beautiful stamp set

One Big happy set

Star sequins from Shakers and Sprinkles kit

Have a great Stamp-a-fair day!

I hope to play catchup and join in more challenges later.
