The card I made is super simple as I am part of a swap and one of the cards I need for the swap is a note card, just a plain, no sentiment note card and I thought this would be a cute idea to use for that type of a card.
I used the CTMH stamp called Card Word Puzzle (my go to for anything like this, I LVOE IT!) and I coloured in the flowers with Gypsy, Goldrush, and Cotton candy. I was hoping to use some of the Sarita paper pack (hence the colours I chose) but the papers just did not work with the spotlight and flowers I chose (in my opinion) so I just went with Gypsy card stock. I still feel it needs something and on the fence about adding some bling to it but decided to sleep it on and see how I feel in the morning (or a few weeks knowing me…lol)
This is not a new technique by any stretch but it was the first time I had tried it. I love the affect it gives and will be playing with it again I am sure.
Be sure to visit the others who have played along at Heart 2 Heart challenges.
Thanks for stopping by!

I've never heard of the "Spotlight Technique". Could you give me a link to a tutorial or explain it, please and thank you?

Hi Tracey,
I have not seen of or used a tutorial but I CAS'd some projects on Split coast stampers. Basically what I did was stamped the image I was using which in this case was Card Word puzzle by Close to My Heart in black ink and then I used my Cricut to cut out a circle from the random stamping that I had done. I also cut another circle a 1/4 inch larger for the mat. I coloured in the flowers and leaves on the circle I cut out, matted it with the black and then as best I could I lined it up with the original stamped image. Here is a link to the gallery of ideas at Heart 2 Heart Challenges as we all pretty much did this for the challenge for this week. http://heart2heartchallenges.blogspot.ca/2014/01/in-spotlight.html
I hope this helps, if not feel free to email me at crzy4scrapbooking at yahoo dot com (spelled out to prevent spamming)
Thanks,
