Stamp-A-Faire 2016 Master Color Recipe

Morning came early at Papertrey's annual Stamp-A-Faire.

All set for the fun and festivities, we were greeted with

a video featuring the bold art of Sargam Griffin,

and the challenge to create from one of the many master's color ways.

Renoir is a favorite of mine, 

we were able to visit a museum in the Dallas-Fort Worth area

with several pieces of the amazing Renoir on exhibit.

Unforgettable!

His paintings were larger than life (literally!), and there's no camera

or photo on earth that could simulate his colors!

Woman Arranging Her Hat is not one of his larger works, 

only 10 1/2 x 9", it represents his later period, in which

he painted in lighter brighter colors.

Couldn't wait to ink up the new sets, Some Like It Hot & Tropics.

So Happy

Getting back to normal after a busy 4th, 

with family, friends and a jolly block party.

Created a card for MIM's challenge, String Art.

Amy's video shows 3 projects, and how she incorporated

a fun art technique into card making.

I don't think I've ever done this before, so Pinterest was a great source 

of projects.

Stitched tag provided the holes for stitching, as well as the die cut heart from

 the Stitched Apple set.

Here's a look at the dies used, as well as the string.

Always fun trying something new!

Hope your week is cool. We finally broke 100, and will be in 90's for awhile!

Definitely thankful!
