CSL: Spotlight

Sunday, November 23, 2014

This month at Technique Club we focused on the Spotlight Technique. I've used this technique lots of times over the years and really love the look. It focuses your eye immediately to the part you are spotlighting. It's great on a really fussy image because you don't have to color the entire thing.

Here is a close-up of the image - We colored the butterfly with SU's Blendabilities - punched the center of it - layered it - and added to the card. Really draws your eye huh?!? See why it's called spotlight :)

Check my last post to see the beautiful Christmas Card we made with this technique. See you soon! ~Maureen

I saw this week's PPA challenge and thought it would be perfect for my Technique Club card - we did the Spotlighting Technique.

So here's the card - what do you think. We used the Ornamental Pine set from the SU Holiday Catalog stamping it once just in black on white, and then again on a smaller piece and coloring it for the spotlighted portion.
