Spotlight focus

Hello there,
Welcome to my blog and follow my work on social media.

Isn't it fun to try new techniques and make new cards. I call this spotlight focus technique and I've used Floral wishes from Craftyscarppers which is a brilliant stamp set to make cards and journal pages. The intricate sketches in the petals is too good to add some details. My favourite technique is to add highlights to floral images and I did try something different here. 

I inked up one side of the cardstock with distress ink and then stamped the images from the stamp set. I placed the florals so that one half is stamped on the inked part and the other on the white part. After stamping, I wanted to add some more details, so I used a micro tip black pen and added the details. Once I was done, I splattered some gold paint to the base and added embellishment and sentiment. I added this piece to a grey cardstock.

Thank you for stopping by and hope you all enjoyed the card.
Stay happy and keep crafting.
