It was really fun experimenting with this technique. There are some really great entries over at the Starving Artistamps blog. Be sure to check them out!
My card originally had more dots and texture, but it didn't look artsy enough to me, so I dripped some of my Copic Refill inks on it. I love the effect, unfortunately it blended most of my dot accents. So, I remembered the trick Marianne taught us at Copic certification and I got a old rag and squirted it with my Copic Colorless Blender refill and blotted directly on to my image. Maybe, not entirely Van Gogh style, but maybe Van Gogh if he owned Copics?? ;o)
The stamped images I used are from the Starving Artistamps Doodle Factory line and it's called Halloween II. The little tree silhouette is here. Love this line!!

That is such a great card and I love your variation of the style for the challenge. The big spots make a really cool background.
nicely done!
OMGoodness, where have I been? This is wonderful. I wanted to participate in the Van Goah challenge, but didn't get a chance! I think I may still try it cuz it's a technique I really want to use. I have a faux Van Gogh hanging in my kitchen! (Cafe at Night)
