I saw this technique challenge the other day on the Starving Artistamps blog and thought it looked like fun! It highlights a technique from Technique Junkies called Van Gogh. It is really easy, and I thought that my Doodle Factory stamps would be a great way to try! Both the background stamp and the giraffe are from Doodle Factory; the monkey is a little clipart I added.
Basically, you color your image with the lightest color and then add dotted highlights with other colors. I used my SU! markers, but I really think this would be great with Copics so I will probably try this technique again on another card with those!
I am in a swap with my swapping friends at SCS with a Zoo Animals theme, so I may work this into my card for that swap. Be sure to check out the different cards on the Starving Artist Stamps blog and if you are a TJ subscriber, in their gallery! There are lots of wonderful works of art to see!
