Hi friends!
I'm here to remind you of the fabulous birthday party we are celebrating at TIME OUT: We are turning 3 and are partying big time! We have 6 prizes for grabs from wonderful sponsors. Don't miss any of the fun, click HERE for all the details for what you could win and how! The theme of the challenge is
Love and/or Friendship with the optional twist of 'spotlight stamping' where you add colour only to one raised area of your image
As you can see, I opted to twist! I die cut a Pretty Pink Posh storybook die from white card and stamped a Paper Smooches flower stamp on it with black Memento ink. I colored all the areas of the stamp that where on the "tall window" of the storybook die and left other areas uncolored. In my final card I've raised the colored area up with fun foam and added a heat embossed sentiment. The card base is covered with polka dot patterned paper. My only embellishment is a yellow enamel dot. I think this turned out pretty fun!
I'd like to enter:
Mod Squad Challenge: Inspired by song
My song is The Rembrandts: "I'll be there for you". We all remember this from the wonderful tv-show "Friends" don't we... Sing along folks:
I'll be there for you
(When the rain starts to pour)
I'll be there for you
(Like I've been there before)
I'll be there for you
('Cause you're there for me too)
(When the rain starts to pour)
I'll be there for you
(Like I've been there before)
I'll be there for you
('Cause you're there for me too)

ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely gorgeous Nonni! I love your coloring and your clever spotlight technique! :) Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteThis challenge has been so fun - there are so many ways to use this technique that I never thought of. I love your card. Great idea to stamp the jar of flowers on the storybook die, and color and raise one panel. Love that enamel dot for the flower center.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite stamp sets, Nonni! I love the way you patched it back together, such a fun design! Thanks for joining us at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool spotlight coloring, Nonni! I think the polka dot backdrop was a great choice, as it goes so well with the cute flowers by Paper Smooches! Thank you so much for playing along at The Flower Challenge!
ReplyDeleteOh, wow, this is so eye catching, the spotlight stamping here makes a big difference, it looks fantastic!
ReplyDeleteFabulous card...love your wonderful creation and that spot light coloring is an incredible look.
ReplyDeleteNonni, love how you have used this stamp, it looks so cool. Brilliant way to spotlight a part of it.
