Spotlight Card Technique: Is This Happy Technique As Easy As It Looks?

spotlight-card-technique

This happy Spotlight Card Technique is easy and fun. It’s a quick way to make a greeting card’s focal point really pop with color. And, it’s much quicker to color a little part of the image, rather than this big stamped image.

Spotlighting part of your image gives your card a different look and it’s a fun card making technique to use with these big stamps.

To use this pretty spotlight card technique I decided to feature the NEW ‘Blessings of Home’ stamp set. There are SO many wonderful new paper crafting supplies in the January-July mini catalog that just came out. I can’t wait to show some of it off to you today!
