You maybe starting here so welcome or you could have come from Tina Gillespie, another Stampin' Up! Demonstrator from South Australia.
Today, I was inspired by the below two cards in the brochure, so I decide I would combine the two. I took the technique from the card on the left with the image and colours from the card on the right.
I was really happy with how it turned out, I started with a piece of Whisper White and cut it out with one of the new Rectangle Stitched Framelits Dies (love them) and then stamped the image in Grey Granite and then used a smaller Rectangle Die to cut out the spotlight.
I used a sponge dauber in Daffodil Delight to create the background and then coloured the flowers and leaves in with Pool Party and Old Olive Blends with a light Daffodil Delight for the flower centres.
I don't know if this is technique is called a reverse spotlight card as the coloured image is usually raised but in my case it is the surrounding area that is raised as per the card above.

Cardstock: Pool Party, Grey Granite, Whisper White
