Hello and welcome back. Apologies, I haven't blogged for a little while, but I am trying to get back into posting more regularly, even if it is just a few photos of what we have been up to each week.
Our post today features the Spotlight Technique. This is where a part (or parts) of a larger image are highlighted, usually by colouring an otherwise monochrome image.
We used the online exclusive stamp Among The Swallows which is currently on offer at £13.30 instead of £19 in the UK (February 2025)
Details:
- We used Early Espresso for inking the stamp, and trimmed down the image sheet to 9.5cm x 13.85cm.
- We cut a background card layer to 10cm x 14.35cm and this was placed onto a white base card 14.845cm x 10.5 as folded.
- We used a 2.25" circle punch for the chosen section, and then punched a larger circle 2.5" to create a circle layer that would be seen behind the panel.
- We coloured the small circle panel with an assortment of Blends alcohol markers. This was then added to the card with dimensional foam pads.
- A diecut panel with the sentiment was added to the top.
I hope you like the finished design and give this technique a go.
Here is the linked video if you would like to see how it was made:
