this month’s bring back beautiful challenge at flourishes is to use the spotlighting technique, which i’ve never done before – probably because i want to watercolour more than just a small portion of an image. i popped the spotlighted image on foam tape for the bottom layer and stamped around the top circle; everything is watercoloured with distress inks and the red is actually christmas paper with cream dots on it. this is going to my dad; he loves strawberries, plus he’s an artist so he’ll appreciate the easel. thanks for looking.

WOW! This is such a beautiful card, I'm sure your Dad will love it. Your colouring is fantastic and I love how the scalloped border compliments the white flowers of the strawberries. Great job.

AHA! That's where you get your artistic abilities! I'm with you . . . I love the spotlighting technique, but I can hardly bear to leave anything white and black. This is sooooo pretty! And what a fabulous easel card!
