hello crafters!
I'm playing along today with the latest Inkspirational challenge where the theme is the 'spotlight technique'. It's been a while since I used this technique on a card, but I do love the results.
I used an unbranded tree die, cut in white, then again for just the central part from an ink smooshed panel. This piece I then proceeded to stamp randomly with red, orange and yellow tiny spots and splashes. The trunks were ink blended brown. This was adhered to a stitched die cut panel that was watercoloured in blue, and I added some ink blending in green and a tiny ink smooshed birdie to finish off the spotlighted colour panel. Lastly, stamped and die cut the Gummiapan sentiment.
It's late Autumn here atm, and seeing the trees in a blaze of riotous colour is truly a beautiful sight. Thanks so much for stopping by.
Oh what a fun way to execute the spotlight technigue! This has given me ideas, thannk you for that! Love the white on white die cuts and your scene looks wonderful too. Thank you for joining us at Inkspirational!

ReplyDeleteLove this Rachel - such a clever way to use the spotlight technique. Your coloured panel stands out beautifully against the white and I love the way you coloured your trees too. Fabulous!
