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!

    Each month I create a unique cards kit around a group of current Stampin' Up! products.  You receive around $20 in products and it costs just $28 with the pre-cut kit and PDF tutorial!  

    Besides the pre-cut supplies for 10 cards (including the punched and die-cut pieces) you'll receive the following:

    • 1/2 pkg of Sand & Sea designer paper (6" X 12")
