Mid-week fun

It's Wednesday! So time for another challenge at Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenge Blog where challenges are always Anything Goes and prizes are awarded from one or more sponsors.  Stop by the blog to check it out! The sponsor this week is All Dressed Up and I used a digi named "Love to Shop." I used a simplified Spotlight Technique. Instead of printing off two copies of the image, I printed just one. I then used a die to cut the circle out of the image and used a slightly larger circle die to cut one from black cardstock. After coloring the sections inside of the circle with Spectrum Noir markers and a Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen, I layered it back on the card atop the black circle. I did print an extra copy of the sentiment, which I made into a small tag.

I love these two owls from a Beccy’s Place digi set named “You’re a Hoot” and they even have names! Ophelia, on the card front, is so sweet while Augusta, on the inside, is the king of grumpy! I colored them with Spectrum Noir Coloring System alcohol markers and a Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen. The sentiments are computer-generated. (Oh, and the yummy cupcake behind the vellum is from a Beccy's Place digi set named "Celebrations.")

My final card for this post features a freebie from Dearie Dolls that you can find HERE. I printed the image on tan parchment cardstock and colored it with Spectrum Noir Coloring System alcohol markers, a Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen and pink chalk. The inside sentiment is upcycled from an old Christmas card.

  6. Wonderful cards Kathy! I have never tried the spotlight technique, although I've seen it used lots of times in fabulous ways. I really like your idea for adding a thin die cut circle to border the spotlit area... great colouring too.
    The owl card is awesome! I love the two owls and the little conversation they're having. Great idea to add the cupcake under the vellum, it's a nice touch.
    Your Christmas card is very sweet, I really like the image. It's drawn on an interesting angle... obviously from Jesus' point of view. Great colouring once again Kathy. Lovely!
    Cheers,
    Beccy
