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!

    Stampin’ Up! has created a new Stampin’ Positioner for us! Since they had to take the Stamparatus off the market we’ve been waiting for a new tool for perfect stamping. Well, it’s now here!

    As you can see in the photo above it’s a brand new design. It has two clear plates, easy to use magnets and a brand new ‘press’ type mechanism.

    Right now for those who are a Demonstrator, it’s available to pre-order until February 2nd for $49. After that, the new Stampin’ Positioner will be added to the Starter Kit FREE in February!

    The cost of the Starter Kit is $99 and includes $125 in product of your choice. But in February, they’ll add in the new Stampin’ Positioner to ALL Demo’s starter kits!

    This is super exciting for us Demo’s now and also for those that join in February!
