Here we go folks. It is almost the end of June. Wow...six months today is Christmas Eve. I know...bad Shelagh but that just means we can get a jump start on the season wth all these fabulous ideas.
Today we are playing with the Spotlight Technique. This can be so much fun and you can stay simple for major impact or go fussy and achieve stardom!! I opted for the simple touch, but I think I am going to attempt the "Stardom" card at a later date.
So here it is .....
This really shows the areas that I "Spotlighted" . I used the new stamp set In This World......love it.
Collage the background and add a few Grunge spots. The minute I saw the butterfly I knew that it would be the focal of the card.
Once I punched out the butterfly I thought the chair could be added. This technique really can showcase almost anything...give it a try.
The card base is Very Vanilla, then I layered the Sahara Sand art piece onto a piece of Bermuda Bay. I was going to use Night of Navy but wanted a little contrast.
The sentiments were inked in Night of Navy and then layered onto Night of Navy scraps. And again I almost put the Bermuda Bay behind that but was happy with the result.
I sure hope you give this fun technique a try....now off to see what the rest of the team has for us. Have fun and come on back as I will list the products for you at the end of my post.
