Spotlighting Technique
by Beate Johns
This technique is great to spotlight part of your image. It's a fun way to use detailed stamps and only color part of of the image.
Supplies
- Two paper punches or cutting system that gives you nested shapes
- Outline image stamp
- Coloring mediums (here Aqua painter and waterbased ink)
- Cardstock (here Shimmery White)
- Black Stazon™
Step-by-Step
-
Step 1
Stamp the main image in Black Stazon™ ink.
-
Step 2
Stamp the part of the image that will be highlighted again, this time on a smaller piece of cardstock.
-
Step 3
Punch out the part of the image that will be highlighted.
(Or use a cutting system to cut it out.)
-
Step 4
Color in the punched image.
-
Step 5
Adhere image to a slightly bigger, colored cardstock punch out.
This will draw attention to the image.
-
Step 6
Line up the layered punch out over the main image and tape down.
-
Step 7
Finish your card.
