Today, we'll take a closer look at one of the cards we're doing at class…
Inspired by Darla Eigenschink's card: Spotlight on Pleasant Poppies.
I adore how the Pleasant Poppies stamps look with the Spotlighting Technique. So cool!
The image is stamped with Black StazOn ink, first on the 5" x 3-3/4" Whisper White piece, then on another scrap piece of Whisper White.
I started with an Elegant Eggplant card base. I layered Gumball Green card stock behind the poppies.
I punched out the part I wanted to spotlight from the scrap piece with the 2-3/8" Circle Punch, then colored it using Ink Pads and Blender Pens. The new Firm-Foam Pads create an awesome palette of ink on the lids when you squeeze the pads before opening. I dip my Blender Pen in that ink to color just like I'm painting. Begin with lighter colors, and layer on darker colors for shading.
I started with Wisteria Wonder, then layered on more Wisteria Wonder to shade the purple flowers. The yellow flowers are Summer Starfruit, shaded with more Summer Starfruit, and finished with Calypso Coral in the centers.
When you're finished coloring, pop up the circle with Dimensionals.
I finished the card with a sentiment from Blooming With Kindness in Elegant Eggplant.
And, of course, we had to use some Summer Starfruit Stitched Satin Ribbon in honor of the Back To Spool promotion! You only have a few days left to get your FREE ribbon with every $40 your order. Ends September 30, so order today at my Online Store.
