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!

  • Life is Beautiful card; made from scraps

    Have you ever made a card from the scraps on your work space?  Or maybe you've been inspired by one as a starting point?  Every piece of this card was a scrap! 

    Life is Beautiful Dec 21 Save

    The stamped & layered main image was leftover from a project I was making but didn't like the shape for it.  So it sat in a pile for weeks. 

    The tree & greeting are stamped in Navy ink.  The snowflakes are stamped in Pool Party & Highland Heather. I added a few Snowflake Sequins too.  You can see them here.  They're 50% off right now; while supplies last.  They are perfect for shaker cards too. 

    The Highland Heather rectangles and the Navy strip were in my bag of scraps and the ribbon was an extra too!  Easy peasy! 

    I will sure miss playing with this stamp set when it retires on January 4th.  I'm so sad it's going away!  If you don't have it yet; I hope you order it before it's gone.  Click here to see it in my store; it's just $17! 

    Measurements:

    • Pool Party card 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
    • White 3" X 3 5/8"
    • Navy 3 1/8" X 3 3/4", 3/4" X 5 1/2" strip
    • Highland Heather 2 1/2" X 3 1/2" pieces

    Tomorrow's Facebook Live will feature 2 fun fold cards using this stamp set. Tune in here at 11 am Central Time.
