I achieved the dots by doing the pointillism technique.
A person was recently talking on General Stamping Talk about not many people using the decorative edge scissors now. It reminded me to get out a pair I thought would look pretty with my image. It was the first time I have used them in forever. I rather like the look. Maybe I'll use them more.

Oh, Brenda, this is gorgeous, and your pointillism is perfect! What a beautiful image that I need to pull out. Thanks for the inspiration, my friend! Just love the decorative edge too! I think I have a couple special ones that I saved. Guess what I have to go look at now? Haha! Hugs, sweet friend! You made me smile already this morning!

I think you get a gold star for patience. The frame you made with the decorative edge scissors is perfect and i bet it took awhile to cut. Then to color in the image with dots....my art supplies would have been tossed out the window in frustration long before finishing the card. The bold orange frame is do pretty. Lovely card, Brenda.

Very pretty Brenda, I did keep a couple of my decorative scissors but got rid of the rest. You've made a lovely frame which adds so much to the beauty of your card. It really helps to make it all pop.

Your pointillism colored flowers turned out beautifully Brenda. I am impressed with your decorative scissors frame. You matched up tore corners perfectly. TFS and playing in this month's DDG theme Doodles and Dots :-)
Wow, Benzi!!! You did a perfect job using your scissors!!! I can't do that good a job. My pattern would be all over the place! Love the colors and your pointillism. I so want to do that on a project soon!

Oooh you've coloured this beautifully Benzi!
I lent my scissors to someone and they never came back, not that I'm worried as I could NEVER cut in a straight line with them!
