Adding touches of colors with marker dots is so much easier than coloring itself! And it provides a unique look to just about any stamped image. Watching my video for tips and tricks!

  14. Jessica Haines says:

    I did a craft years ago with my girls using oil based sharpies, stickers, and a mug. They did dots around the stickers and lifted so the images was outlined by dots. How did I not think to use that in card making. Great inspiration thank you!

  15. Kim M Jacobs says:

    I love this technique! Have used fir years with wood burning but never thought to apply to my paper crafts.

    Your cards are really beautiful. Adore those butterflies. TFS

  17. Pam says:

    Love this technique, and love the single butterfly card!

  19. Laurie Fleuette says:

  22. Golda says:

    This was fun. I love the dot look around a black and white image.

  23. I haven’t done pointillism since college! Wow, forgotten all about it, and NEVER thought about it in cardmaking. Your cards are gorgeous, Jennifer. Welcome home, and definitely welcome back to making cards! <3

  24. Arlene T says:

    Such vibrant colors. I’m. It much of a colorer but these inspire me to try again.

  25. Genevieve says:

    I love it 🥰 it reminds me of julie alterman who was guest on your blog

  26. Judy B says:

    Great technique Jennifer. This would be a fun one to try while we’re all stuck at home.

  27. Stephanie Clapper says:

    One of the best things I find about watching your videos, besides the great techniques, are the helpful tips you give along the way. It’s hard to believe after years of card making that I still struggle with adding the designed panel to a card front and keeping it aligned. (before the liquid glue dries). Your tip using the corner of the Misti may have saved me!
    I wanted to add how much I love this technique. Many companies today are releasing images that need some type of coloring. I’m a stamper at heart besides the fact that coloring is a big challenge for me. This is the main reason I’m also leaning towards stand alone dies. Thank you Jennifer, for all your help and I hope you had a wonderful time with your family. 😊💖

  28. Dee Earnshaw says:

  33. Maureen Reiss says:

    Wow!!! Amazing cards!!! I need to go try this right NOW!!

  34. CCM says:

    Love your cards and the dot coloring technique. I will give it a try. Thanks for the inspiration.

  35. Robin Crossno says:

  36. Sarah A Arnold says:

    I loved this technique, Jennifer! I used to oil paint with the similar impressionist technique but never thought to use it with my stamps. Thank you, Sarah
