Spotlight Technique

  Morning and we have a new ATG/ Spotlight Technique challenge at  A Place to Start. I used a new stamp from  Woodware by Francoise Read stamped twice and coloured one with promarkers- then used a circle die from My Favourite Things, from the coloured one and put onto 3D foam pads and onto the uncoloured one. I found the p, paper in the drawer and was just the right size for the card(how lucky is that lol) I had no more coloured card, so after cutting a piece of white card just slightly larger than the image, I swiped a promarker round the edges then matted the image on top-now I did this at night and the colour looked perfectly matched-then in daylight one purple and one pink??? Never mind the purple matched colour of image lol. TBH the colours look much darker in real life 


Please note if any challenges have digi images for prizes I am just playing for fun and support as I don't have a printer.

Beautiful! A wonderful stamp and a fantastic presentation thanks to the spotlight technique. I really like the purple coloring, as well as the patterned paper—which, in my opinion, is a perfect match. The coloring of the edges also harmonizes beautifully with the flower and the patterned paper. Great work—thank you for participating in the current "Do-Al(l)-Kreatives" challenge.
Hugs, Uschi

Such a pretty spotlight card and I love the purple!

Leslie Miller said...

What a pretty stamp and I love the spotlight technique for this! There is the illusion of magnification in the spotlight. Interesting! Love the purple. I don't think I'll ever run out of colored cardstock. Certain colors, maybe. I need to start using it more!

Hey Carol, never mind about the colours, sometimes it's more interesting than having matchy-matchy. I think its great and was a very creative solution and a fab result. CarolG

Christine said...

Beautiful image so detailed I love the pop of colouring the circle.
Sorry for not dropping by over the last month but we just got back from a vacation and family visit tagged on the end of it xx

Lisa said...

This is a great stamp from Woodware. You added just enough color to it to create interest on the spotlight technique and then allow the stamp to really highlight just a portion of it. Really beautifully done.

Mrs.B said...

A lovely card Carol, the spotlight technique works so well with this image.
Thanks for sharing at We Love Stamping. Avril

Hannah Moore said...

What a beautiful use of the spotlight technique, Carol! The pop of colour on that Francoise Read stamp is lovely against the uncoloured part. I have never tried it myself but I might just give it a go!

Carol, this is such a gorgeous vintage-inspired creation! I love the beautiful lavender sprigs, delicate feathers and wonderful combination of stamped images and soft purple tones. The collage effect gives it so much character and old-world charm! Thank you, Carol, for sharing your lovely creativity with us at Ally's Angels. It's always a pleasure to have you join our challenges! ❤️
