Create a card or project using DOTS to color your back ground and/or part of your image. This technique is known as POINTILLISM (FTTC239).
I love this technique and used it to color my image as well as my background.
My images are from Flourishes' Love Notes. I stamped the guitar with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and then colored in with my Copics using all dots. I left it a little open and not so blended to match the theme of the card.
I added Light Blue Chevron Twill ribbon and an embossed button with blue twine to add some color. Not many other frills, as I wanted this to be more on the masculine side.
