Technique Tuesday Blog Hop – Spotlighting

Welcome to the April Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

It’s time for another Technique Tuesday Blog Hop. I am so happy to be able to participate in this month’s Blog Hop. This month’s theme is Spotlighting. This technique is when you cut out a portion of your stamped card layer with either a die or a punch and color only the portion that has been removed from the card layer and then pop it back onto the card with dimensionals.

I used the Apple Harvest stamp set and punched it out with the Stylish Shape Circle dies. The image is colored with Stampin Blends. Here is my finished card.

Cutting and Instructions:

1. Card base is Old Olive card stock, cut at 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ , scored and folded at 4 1/4″
2. Cut Pecan Pie card stock 4″ x 5 1/4″, adhere directly to the card base with liquid glue
3. Cut Basic White card stock 3 7/8″ x 5 1/8″
4. Stamp the apple images from the Apple Harvest stamp set in Memento Black ink on the Basic White layer
5. Use the 3rd largest circle die and die cut out the portion of the image you want to spotlight
6. Color only the image that was die cut, with Stampin Blends. I used light and dark Real Red, light and dark Sweet Sorbet, light and dark Old Olive and light Daffodil Delight
7. Attach the Basic White card layer to the card base with liquid glue
8. Place the colored image back into the hole of the Basic White layer with dimensionals, making sure to line it up exactly
9. On a strip of Basic White cardstock cut at 1/2″ x 4″, stamp a sentiment from the Apple Harvest stamp set in Memento Black ink
10. Cut a strip of Real Red card stock 5/8″ x 4 1/8″ and layer under the Basic White layer with liquid glue. Add the sentiment to the card with dimensionals
11. Color some of the white Classic Matte Dots, red using the Real Red Stampin Blend and place them on the finished card
