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!

    The new Rainbow Glimmer paper is absolutely amazing! Have you seen it yet?  Click here.

    Many Medallions black Save

    If you like colors, and I mean sparkly, bright colors you need to get some of this Rainbow glimmer paper!  It's on page 153 of the Annual Catalog.  

    Here I used the Many Medallion dies to cut a full sheet of this pretty paper and adhered it to a Black card.  All it needed was a simple greeting (Tasteful Touches set) and bow made with the new Pool Party sheer ribbon!  

    How about another option? 

    Many Medallions white Save

    I used the same strip of this paper for this die-cut; it's just further down on the sheet.  So many beautiful colors in gradient hues.  The greeting is from the Field of Flowers stamp set. 

    Here are both cards side by side.

    Which do you think highlights this beautiful glimmer paper better; white or black?  I was torn so I did one of each.

    I made these cards to send out to everyone who purchased the Starter Kit from me in June.  

    Gorgeous Posies Welcome cards Save

    I used the Gorgeous Posies stamp set (seen here) in Mint Macaron and Calypso Coral.  I just love our Distinktive style stamps!!

    Gorgeous Posies welcome card Save

    I stamped the large flower once in full strength Calypso Coral ink, stamped below without reinkining, and then lastly off to the right side.  Look at the gorgeous leaves; they are two different images. Both full strength ink but the solid style leaf is the Distinktive style so you get multiple hues of ink with just one stamping.  I did stamp the flower center dots image using White Craft ink. 

    The greeting is from a stamp set only Demonstrators can purchase. The die is from the Tasteful Labels dies.
