There's a new challenge up at Passion for Promarkers, and they want us to use the "Spotlight" technique. Now until I came across this challenge, I'd never even heard of that technique before, but I thought it looked brilliant and really wanted to have a go!
So I did.
I went with a slight twist, and made the spotlight area a sepia monochrome (my regular visitors will know I have a bit of a thing for that particular colour scheme...) and this is the result:
Oh look, lots of LOTV again... lol.
ETA: It's a little hard to make out, but the coloured part I had actually stamped out a second time and mounted the circle with foam tape. It adds extra dimension in real life, but doesn't really show in the photo.
Also, I think if I were to do this again, I'd stamp the image with brown ink rather than black...
Recipe:
Image - "A Christmas Carol" - LOTV
Medium - Promarkers
Paper - "Krafty Christmas" - LOTV
Sentiment - "Christmas Grungy Messages" - LOTV
Dies - Sizzix snowflakes
Other challenges I'd like to enter:
Addicted to stamps and more - Anything goes
Crafting by designs - Anything goes - Christmas
ABC Christmas challenge - W is for Winter wishes
4 Crafty Chicks - Snowflakes
Sassy Studio designs - Not your typical Christmas
Crafty Girls challenge - Anything goes
Hope you're all having a fantabulous day. I might be back with one more card before bedtime. Maybe. lol.
