In the Country with the Spotlighting Technique & video; a great alternative to coloring

On last week's FB Live I played with the In the Country stamp set seen here showing a variety of ways to color (or not) these scenic images. 

Today I'm showing the cards featuring the 'Spotlighting' technique.  This is a great alternative to coloring the entire image.

I used the Fabulous Frames dies for the oval die-cut. See them here.  I also used the Sending Support stamp set seen here.  Both this and the In the Country stamp set are free with any $50 Stampin' Up! purchase through February.  

I stamped the image first in Black ink and then die-cut the oval layers.  I used the Wink of Stella and Classic ink to color.  I love using Wink to color because the images end up sparkly.

If you don't have a Wink of Stella yet; I highly recommend them.  They're a subtle way of adding shimmer or sparkle to your projects.  And as you can see, you can use it for coloring too! I show how in the video below.

Tip: when the fluid in the Wink of Stella runs out, add a tiny bit of rubbing alcohol inside the barrel.  You'll get quite a bit more use of it.

All of the layers are adhered down but the colored oval and greeting; they're popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals.  

I added a piece of Fancy Florals DSP to the card base.  I cut a piece at 4" X 5 1/4" and then cut it in half for two cards. Other measurements are shown below.

I love the effect this Spotlighting technique gives.  It's fun and unique and saves time too!

  • Beautiful DSP Diamond Gatefold card with video & free project sheet

    I shared this pretty fun fold card on last week's Live video. You can see it here or scroll down a bit.  

    Bloom Impressions spring corners Save

    It features the Spring Corners bundle seen here and the Bloom Impressions DSP from our Sale-a-Bration promotion.  This DSP can be seen here. It's free with any $60 purchase!  Unfortunately it's in low inventory status and may be gone soon.  I love it and thought it was one of our best offerings.

    The Spring Corners set is one of my new favorites; I love the unusual corner style greetings and other images but the dies are special too!  As you can see in the front panel I die-cut the coneflower image and then replaced the flower centers with Melon Mambo pieces.  So easy and a fun trick!

    Here's how it looks when it's opened below. Notice the greeting is in two lines horizontally.  I cut the 'corner' shaped stamp set at the corner point so I could have a normal inside greeting.  When I want to use it as a corner stamp it easily fits back together on my block again.

  • Bright Borders fun fold with Bloom Impressions DSP

    We made these pretty cards at my Clubs in January.  I featured the Bright Borders stamp set with the To the Point punch and the Sale-a-Bration Bloom Impressions DSP. 

    Bright Borders & To the Point punch Save

    Unfortunately the To the Point punch is out of stock and isn't expected to be back until April!  I was worried about this when I saw it was in low inventory. 

    The gorgeous Bloom Impressions DSP is a free choice during Sale-a-Bration and is also in low inventory.  If it does run out it's possible they'll turn off the item number if they cannot get more in stock before the end of February.  So grab yours here now!

    This is a fun fold card – sometimes called a 'back-fold'. The far right inside is scored so it can bend backwards. The greeting layers are adhered to that side and hold the card closed.  It's a great way to show off our coordinating colors in our beautiful designer papers.
