Hey gang... I love to stamp.. I love to learn new techniques often and try them out... Every Class I teach and workshop I do - I try to wrap my cards around a theme and that could be a technique, stamp set or color. Here I'm showing some fun cards, one of which I did for my Step-daughter's 20th Bday, and then used them at a workshop for a friend who loves our Bold Brights line and this technique promotes the sale of our amazing punches... see below my how-to... I"ll be doing a tutorial early this next week.
Technique: Spot Light
I used punches to highlight a portion of a page... so I stamped the image in one color and using our Color Wheel (one of my favorite tools) I highlighted in a coordinating color a part of that same image. In the Orange I used the coordinating blue to stamp and paper coordinate.. to tie in the butterfly and make it POP.

On the Yellow I highlighted the Single flower using our markers and our tag punches. That was a large workshop for punches and markers... and one of my favorite card styles to do. Yellow and Black is so sharp - very my style and reminds me of Jr. High clothes I wore - that are coming back (eek!) But it showed my daughter how she stands from the crowd... she loved it and the coordinating bag that I made for her gifts. (Bonus - these cards are quickies - perfect for a workshop, class or just getting a card done for someone special and ANYONE can do them.)
You try it... grab your color wheel and make the colors pop - try using colors that may not be your favorite - you may fall in love and not expect it!! Who said a card has to be complicated to be special - sometimes it's the simple moments/cards in life that you cherish the most.
