Spotlighting Technique

Hi, everybody! Before I share my card, I would like to welcome four lovely new followers - kladd94803, Denise Bryant, Jenny L, and Sue D.  So nice to have your here!

 For today's card, I decided to try something different! I used a fun technique I saw recently called the spotlighting technique, which is not new, but it is new to me! Basically you select just a part of the image to colour so it's in the spotlight. I'm joining the 200th challenge celebration over at The Friday Mashup, and this is my third entry.


I used a sweet image called Just So Cool from All Dressed Up Stamps and coloured just her head with my Prismacolor pencils.  I mounted it on a glitter circle and added a tiny puffy heart sticker on her hair clip.  A strip of the same glitter (it's actually ribbon!) was added on the right edge of the card, along with a strip of washi tape. Yes, I'm still on a mission to use my washi tape! The sentiment along the bottom is from Desert Diva, which was a freebie at one point (thank you, Hannelie), and I added a triple-looped bow made from yarn.

My inspiration came from The Friday Mashup, specifically Challenge 45 - Option 1 - Spotlighting Technique and Challenge 126 - Option 1 - Washi Tape.



I would also like to support these fun challenges: 
All Dressed Up AG 1/3; Not Just Cards AG UE; Papertake Weekly Girlie Card 1/5; Sister Act (Cards Only) AG UE

Thank you for looking at my card!  Wishing you a joyful day!

    You with your washi! You go, gurl! Fun card! I like that you used the glitter to accent your spotlight spot instead of just a bit of black. That really adds to the teen scene feel of this card.
