SAF 2016: Color Blocking with Lexi Daly

More fun with Stamp-a-Faire, this card inspired by Lexi Daly,

who debuted a fantastic how-to video, showing us 

Color Blocking in the Andy Warhol style.

Lexi, your instructions were perfect! Move the panel, not the stamp

was brilliant, and so helpful!

A reminder that Andy Warhol chose an iconic image, and

repeated it, block print style, helped me choose Betsy's What the Doodle: Apple.

Remember, we have until Tues. morning to add our 'masterpieces'.

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.
