Create a unique pixelated coloring style with the Pointillism Technique. I discovered this idea on Split Coast Stampers and immediately tested it with the High Tide Stamps.

Add the deepest color of blue to the shaded areas of the stamped image to create depth and dimension.

Continue adding dark dotted shading until the desired look is achieved.
