Make a birthday creation & land it here for all of us to see!!
I have used an image from Prairie Fairy Designs called Daffodils. I used my lovely, bright & cheery Basic GreyLemonade Paper Pack to help my card to come alive! As you can see I embossed the pink paper behind the label nestability cut out daffodil image & matting! I used my slit punch to slide the ribbon (from Really Reasonable Ribbons) underneath the image from one side to the other. I recycled some flower accents from an arrangement my daughter brought home and added a bit of stitching & a blingy heart charm. A few pearls compliment my buttefly & sentiment.
An area of interest on my card is the technique I used on the image.
It is called the spotlight technique.
I printed the digital image twice, colored an area of one of them (the area I wanted to 'spotlight') then I cut it out, matted it on some paper & placed it on the second image I had printed, just so!
This technique is also our SPOTLIGHT technique at the Crafty Cardmakers sight.
Yes, the spotlight technique is 'spotlighting'.....................confused me at first too, but if you follow my lead, your are bound to get it right!! lol
REMEMBER- you have another whole week to get in the current spotlight challenge of PUNCHES!

Great use of the spotlight technique, never done it myself but it does look really effective.
Love all the different elements and the Basic Grey paper is perfect.
