Spotlight Technique

Today I have a new technique card that I would like to share with you.  I have never done this technique before, but I know I will be doing it again.
The technique is spotlighting.  Here is the card I created.

I stamped the Summer Garden stamps onto a piece of Whip Cream Cardstock.  I then stamped one of the flowers on a circle I had cut out with Journey Circles and Whip Cream Cardstock.  This is the piece I colored.  I love the way it turned out.

Supplies Used:
Stamp: Summer Garden, Howdy Notes
Paper: Whip Cream Cardstock, Black Licorice Cardstock
Ink: Black Licorice
Dies: Journey Circles
Accessories: Bright Day Journey Tape
Colored with Color Burst Pencils
