Spotlight Technique

This is in no way anything new however I decided to revisit this technique for my monthly card challenge with my team this month.

An oldie but a goodie that any casual crafter can try.

I had the perfect background stamp I wanted to try with it and this was also an opportunity to do a bit of white colour wash on dark cardstock for the Spotlight part.

This is such an easy technique but so effective.

I started with stamping the Flowers Fair background stamp on a piece of Misty Moonlight in black ink.

Then it was just a matter of die cutting the centre of it out with a shape die, I chose a square rather than a circle just to mix it up.

I applied the white ink to the floral images with a Blender Pen, which meant I had more control of the ink and could apply it in layers until I reached the desire amount for the look I was after.

I popped that square up in dimensionals and then placed it back in the centre, the images all align perfectly.

It needed a little bling so enter the Wink of Stella.

A soft gentle application to random parts of the image gave the centre piece some subtle shimmer.

I wanted the card to be about the image so I kept the sentiment relatively low key and easy with a small strip of beige cardstock and the sentiment stamped in coordinating Misty Moonlight. This sentiment is from a new stamp set coming soon called Sending Salutations.

I'm really happy with this card and I look forward to sending it on its way to someone soon.

Thanks for stopping by to check out my card today.
