SPOTLIGHTING TECHNIQUE WITH THE LAYERS OF BEAUTY!

For one of our cards in our “Beauty Class” last week we played with the Spotlighting technique with the Layers of Beauty.

To create the Spotlighting Technique, firstly stamp the large flower and diecut a circle out in an area on the flower. The Stylish Shapes dies were used for that. Instead of using the masks to colour the flowers on the diecut circle we coloured them with the Stampin’ Blends.

Colouring the background area with the Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends helps to make the flowers POP. Adding a black circle mat behind the coloured circle part helps to make it POP too.

During the class while others were working on their projects I created a different version of the card by turning the card the other way.

This one has added sparkle too with the In Color Glimmer Specialty Paper.

Here is a close-up of the Spotlight area.

What do you think? Maybe try the Spotlighting Technique yourself.

The Layers of Beauty is a lovely bundle. For this one I have only used the Stamps which work so well in themselves.

You can see the full bundle in my store -> HERE. BONUS – They are 10% off this month which is awesome!

SPOTLIGHTING TECHNIQUE WITH A VIDEO!

I’m back with another video for you. This one is using the Spotlighting Technique. Have you tried it?

The Spotlighting Technique is highlighting a part of an image with colour. The part highlighted can be created by diecutting any shape eg circle or square. The section can be raised up or sunk below the card mat.

You can see the video below to see how it is done. I share another version too in the video so stay tuned.

This is the card I created using the Irresistible Blooms. The sentiment is from the Nature’s Prints Stamp set and diecut with the Natural Prints dies.

It is a standard size card base. I have cut the card sheet down vertically for a different look.

The exact measurements I will send out in my newsletter this week. By the way, Are you on my newsletter?? You can head to the side bar, there is a tab there.

I will let you go and watch the video now. I hope you get to make one.

Happy Crafting,

Jenny
