Hollyhocks Birthday Card

 

I've been completely in love with the new Impressionism paintings, by artists

such as Erin Hanson, and even our own Dawn McVey. Capturing the bright 

colors and contemporary shapes was the goal with this card. Contrast and bright

happy movement. 

The Greetery's Hollyhocks die was cut and assembled using bright reds and pinks

and added to a bright blue background. Even The Greetery's birthday die emits a 

freeform feeling.

The new impressionist painters are fearless in their color combinations, often

using bright colors for ordinary objects.

I recently attended Beyond Van Gogh, and vowed to take up painting again. 

Have you seen it? 

Here's a sample of experiencing Van Gogh's art come to life!

Beyond Van Gogh is an experience, not just a gallery of paintings. The walls come alive

with movement, reflected on the floor. His brushstrokes are so emotional you almost

feel him attacking his canvas!

Our card making craft allows us to draw from all sorts of techniques and styles.

Hope you enjoyed my 'impression' of impressionism!
