Just Add Ink #675 | Just Add ... Spotlight Technique Challenge

 Happy Friday! I'm sharing with you today my latest card for the design team for the new Just Add Ink Challenge - Just Add Ink #675 | Just Add ... Spotlight Technique Challenge.


My take on the Spotlight technique for my cards today was Spotlight Stamping. Its a technique which as the name suggest adds spotlight to certain part of stamp. In this technique what you do is highlight a certain portion of stamp with your favorite coloring medium. So I've stamped the leaf image on the cardstock and embossed it with White Embossing Powder and then I've added some ink blending on the cardstock using the Stampin' Up! colours - Bubble Bath, Fresh Fresia and Highland Heather.

How stunning are these colours blended together? I'm loving it that's for sure! I've used products from the Masterfully Made Suite from the Stampin' Up! 2023 -2024 Annual Catalogue. In the catalogue the project samples are made bright and bold colours but with the colour combination that I've used today I love how gorgeous these suite products with the soft and pretty look.

In this card the embossing creates an emboss resist look and then the laying the image from the die-cut with the image on the cardstock base layer accents the Spotlight Stamping technique.


 In this card, lining up the bottom image with the top image, and having them in different colours really accents the Spotlight Stamping Technique. 

Isn't it such a bonus when you can get two cards from the one technique. I really enjoyed this technique and I'm looking forward to trying it with different stamps and also different ink blending colour combinations.

The Just Add Ink Design Team have lots of amazing creations for you and to show you their take on the Spotlight Technique. I can't wait to see you join in and to see your take on this fun technique.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
Happy Stamping!

Just Add Ink #673 | Just Choose Two Challenge

 I'm here today to bring you my card for the NEW challenge we have over at Just Add Ink Challenges - Just Add Ink #673 - Just Choose Two Challenge.

Today for our Just Choose Two challenge (to choose two items to feature on your project) we are choosing from Doors, Windows and Flowers. Flowers was a given for me as I love creating with just about anything floral but my other item to feature was a bit harder to choose. I went with Window but not using an acual image of a window but making a window in my card by making a Split Window Card.



I've used a Calypso Coral card base and then for the flower element I've used the Stampin' Up! Garden Wallk DSP. This is stunning DSP and there is something in it for everyone. The flowers around the side of the window have also been fussy cut from the Garden Walk DSP. 

I've finished off the card with the Black & Very Vanilla Large Check Ribbon (which I cut in half), some Linen Thread and some Blooming Pearls.

There are lots of AMAZING creations from the rest of the Just Add Ink Design Team on the JAI Blog. Go and check out to see what 'two' elements they all used this week and then while you are there you can see how you can enter your project. Can't wait to see what 'two' you used.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
