Showers of dots with Pointilism

Hi!
    Today I'd like to share a card I'd made a couple of months ago. Pointlism is a technique of painting with dots of colour to form an image. Spaced out dots result in a lighter shade & those close together a darker shade. My kids learnt this in Grade 7 & I was eager to  try it too. 

Supplies used:

Anniversary rose Cake icing stencil 

Felt pens 

Sentiment - Studio G-Ditto-Mixed Messages 

Twine

Happy Earth Day!

Hello!
    Happy Earth Day to you all. Yesterday, as I looked through my folder of cards to be posted, I found this card I'd  made over three years ago for my grand nephew, but never shared as I felt I hadn't done much. However, today being Earth Day, I decided to share this card made using stuff which would have been discarded as thrash. 

Supplies used:
Background image - a page from a Bob the Builder book which was in a bad condition as it belonged to my boys 
Alphas (Birthday)- cut from an old card my daughter received
3rd - drawn & cut from a silver cake box 
Tools - Recollections-dimensional sticker

Keep Calm & Find Your Zen

Hello!
    So happy to be back soon and with a card for Unity's Friends with Flair once again. The image for today's card was also coloured by my dd. I'm sure she'll want the card for her roomie who practices Zen Meditation & I feel it would be a nice card to give her before she leaves for her study abroad program.

Supplies used:

Image - Unity Serenity Fashionata

Sentiment - Find your Zen-Unity Serenity Fashionata

                     Keep Calm-The Craft's Meow-Vintage Rides

Papers - Stamping Up

Ink - Versamagic-cloud white

Crayola colour pencils

Foam tape

   The image was fussy cut after coloring it, the mat was stamped on DP, image glued over mat. Then the entire image was fixed on the DP that depicts the floor with foam tape. The Keep Calm strip is color A4 parer onto which I stamped the sentiment. The & was handwritten. I struggled most to get this sentiment placement right.
