Happy Birthday You Sweet Thing - Sweet Strawberry Stamp Set

Today's Happy Birthday card is as sweet as the Sweet Strawberry Stamp Set.  I used the combination of Real Red, Poppy Parade and Granny Apple Green Inks to create this card.  The strawberries are two step stamps, which I used Real Red Ink for the outline and Poppy Parade Ink for the inside.  For the leaves I used Granny Apple Green for the outline and inside, but I stamped off for the inside to make it lighter.  I used Daffodil Delight for the small flower.  All elements were punched out using the Strawberry Builder Punch.

Technique Tuesday: Spotlight Technique

Today's card features the fun Spotlight Technique, named for the attention it draws to a specific spot on the card.  It is very simple to do in only three steps.  I chose to use the Painted Poppies Stamp Set.

1. Stamp your image and select what you want to spotlight.  Stamp the image again on a separate piece of card stock
2. Color in the part of the image you want to spotlight and Die-cut with the Circles Dies
3. Layer and pop-up your image on the card overlaying your original image
