Today I am sharing a card that uses a technique called "Spotlighting". This is when you stamp an image on your base, then on a scrap piece and you either cut or punch out a portion of the image and fill or color it in and then place it over your original on the base (with or without a layer). You see the full image but your eye is drawn to the colored in piece.
Featured Product:
Beautiful Day Stamp Set
- Blushing Bride Base 8 1/2" x 4 1/4", score at 5 1/2" and 8 1/4"
- For the base layers, add a piece of Smoky Slate 5" x 3 3/4"
- Add a Very Vanilla piece 4 3/4" x 3 1/2"
- Stamp the butterfly from Beautiful Day in Archival Black ink
- For the Spotlight: cut a piece of Blushing Bride 2 5/8" x 2 1/8" and Very Vanilla 2 1/2" x 2"
- Stamp the same butterfly on the Very Vanilla piece
- Use your Stampin' Write Markers to color in your butterfly (or your favorite coloring item). In this case: Blushing Bride & Powder Pink
- Make your banner using Blushing Bride cardstock 1/2" x 3"
- Stamp your sentiment in Archival black ink
- Snip the end to create the banner look
- Attach to your card front using dimensionals
- Before attaching it to the Blushing Bride base, add a piece of Black Shimmer Ribbon
When you unfold, this is what you get
- On the inside, be sure to add a piece of Very Vanilla 5 1/4" x 4"
