Karen's Splitcoaststamper's TLC Challenge: Get to the Point!

When I saw that my friend Karen aka k dunbrook of Splitcoaststamper.com and "Snippets" was hosting this weeks TLC610 Technique Challenge..Get to the Point...I thought the technique would be perfect for a card I have been working on using my new Penny Black Stamp.."the sweetest sound" and matching "the sweetest sound II" die cut,  which I ordered from SSS using my birthday gift certificate from Loll :-)  Thank you again my friend.

I did make my own Get to the Point version.  I never can follow directions exactly..lol!  I had already used the Watercoloring Stamping technique like on THIS card using my MISTI and SU markers.  I then die cut my birds and branch and sponged with SU inks.  I masked the images and splattered the background with diluted Soft Suede using a paint brush.  Then stamped my sentiment using my MISTI and attached the die cut birds and branch.

Still not totally happy...that is when I saw Karen's challenge.   I touched the tip of my stylus into Soft Suede ink and started adding dots.  Instead of of lots of dots I stopped when I liked the effect.  It was my 1st time to try the stylus dots technique.  It worked great.  I think it was Jennifer Mcguire that I have seen using a stylus for dots.

Here is my card that I am now very happy with thanks to  Karen, Loll and Jennifer :-)


My card is for the Splitcoaststampers.com TLC610 Get to the Point Challenge.

Also CAS on Sunday: Challenge #95 Flowers

And..Pixie's Snippet's Playground:  my birds are from a snippet of WC paper.
