Spotlighting Technique with Hand-Penned Petals

Today's card is a throw back technique.  If you are looking for a new stamping technique to try, the Spotlighting Technique is a great way to highlight your detailed stamp images without having to color in the whole thing.  I used Hand-Penned Petals Stamp Set for this card.

• Polished Pink Cardstock layer:  5 1/4" x 4" - embossed with Pretty Flowers 3D Embossing Folder
• Stamped the flower in Black Memento Ink on a piece of White Cardstock and cut out using the Rectangle Stitched Dies
• Stamp a second flower on a piece of White Cardstock and cut out a small piece using a small circle die from the Stylish Shapes Dies
• Color in the flower - I used Polished Pink and Soft Succulent Blends
• Line up your circle image with the image stamped on the background and pop up in place
