Enduring Beauty Happy Birthday Card - Spotlight Stamping Technique.

 Good Afternoon Everyone,

Today I'm bringing you another card using the Enduring Beauty Bundle. This bundle is so versatile and I've created so much with it already - with plenty more items yet to come!

I wanted to try out some spotlight stamping with this image, and I have a card coming up soon with the standard technique but I thought this principle would work with the largest open flower.

What do you think?

Measurements

Basic Black Card Stock

1pc - 4 1/8" x 11 3/4", scored at 5 7/8"

1pc - scrap

Basic White Card Stock

2pc - 3 7/8" x 5 5/8"

1pc - scrap

-------------------------------------------------

Take the Basic Black Card Stock and fold along the score line to create your card base, adding one of the Basic White pieces to the inside.

Ink up the large floral image from Enduring Beauty in memento ink and stamp onto the remaining piece of Basic White. Ink it up again and stamp onto a scrap piece - this one doesn't have to be a full image - but you do need to make sure you get the full flower head that will be coloured in.

Once the ink is dry bring in your Gray Granite & Smoky Slate Blends and colour in the full stamped image. Use the coordinating die and your Cut & Emboss machine to cut it out.

Now take your Melon Mambo Stampin Blends and colour in the full flower head you stamped on scrap. Once coloured in, fussy cut carefully. Then adhere this directly above the exact flower on the grey coloured image with dimensionals.

Add this whole piece to the card front, placing it centred, but slightly towards the top.

On a scrap of Basic Black stamp the sentiment from Attention Shoppers in Whisper White Ink, trim and add slanted edges, to create a little interest. Then, place this on the card front below the image.

It's a super simple idea and a great way to get a WOW from your card.
