Challenge is a good thing...

I finally had a few minutes to stamp and thought I'd look for some inspiration. I found it in a newsletter from Splitcoast on the Technique of the week - Spotlighting. The link is active to the resource page.

This is a very classy technique. It can look ultra-modern or simple. I'd never tried the technique, but thought it would be perfect for a fast card.

Here's my card:

You can use a punch to highlight the colored portion (achieve the spotlight), but I chose to make this into a metal edge tag. I stamped the image twice, trimmed a circle with the template provided, fit it into an empty Making Memories rim, and pinched to create a tag. It correlates well with the pewter brads.

Below is a close up of the image (colored with copic markers):

I'm really happy with how this card completed.

I'd love to see if you create a Spotlight card. Please add a link to your samples in the comment section.

Thanks for stopping by,

Lisa
