The other day, my friend, Becca Cruger did a post using a coloring page - I thought it was such a fantastic idea, I made my own coloring page and did a spotlight of color.
I stamped a background using Hero Arts flowers and leaves from their April monthly kit and used my MISTI because I wanted a nice dark black. Trimmed down the panel and die cut the circle. I colored the flowers and leaves with my Zigs (light carmine and tea rose)and a damp brush finishing the section with a Spectrum Noir clear glitter pen. Adhered the panel to the card base, popped up the colored piece with fun foam and added the sentiment (old MB die I think).
I am entering this in CAS-Mix Up challenge for this month as the theme is to use markers, stamping and another element which is die cuts for me.
Thanks for stopping by and your kind comments.
Just saw Becca's post as I was looking through blogs. Yours is lovely as well Betty, I think the spotlight technique is a fabulous one and you have done it proud. I love the idea of the die cut circle.

ReplyDeleteWOW ... amazing job of spotlighting Betty. This is gorgeous. I love the colours you've used ... so pretty! And the sponging has created so much depth. The circle actually looks 3D. Great job! Thanks so much for sharing with us at CAS Mix Up! xx
ReplyDeleteWonderful card Betty - lovely colour spotlight :-)
ReplyDeleteSuch a clever idea, Betty! I love how you created your own coloring page and your spotlight of color is so pretty! Beautiful shades of pink on the flower petals, and your 'fine' scripty sentiment works perfectly! I'll bet it's really sparkly in person, too...Stunning card!
ReplyDeleteBetty this is absolutely stunning! I'm glad you gave this technique a go because you always know how to show a girl up! haha!
ReplyDeleteYour coloring book page had me doing a double take. I thought for sure it was a page from a book. I have seen such pretty work from those. I just got myself the "Paintly Days,Flowers" so that I could try it. You have recreated the look so perfectly and the best part is you could easily duplicate the spotlight area. Very clever!
