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!

  • Hey Girlfriend with a paper strips background!

    Coloring these sweet girls can be intimidating but not with our Blends markers!  Look at her! 

    Hey girlfriend Audrey Save

    I will admit that my friend & team member Audrey colored this one.  She shared a bunch of stamped & colored girls with me and I've made a few cards with them.  If you look closely you can see the changes in color hue that gives great dimension. Such as her skirt. See how the outside is darker than the inside?  Same with her cheeks. 

    The Blends markers are fabulous tools!  

    I had a bunch of colored card stock strips laying on my desk and decided to use them for a background.  I cut some into thinner strips to add interest. I did not measure; they vary in widths which adds some interest & fun.

    I adhered them to a 3 1/2" X 4 3/4" piece of card stock. Then I trimmed off the excess and added the entire piece to a piece of 3 5/8" X 4 7/8" piece of Black CS before I added it to the White card base.
