Spotlight on Growing Green

By
Thursday night was workshop night and me and the girls made 'Spotlight Cards' - this is where you take a stamped image in black ink and then spotlight an area in colour


Growing Green is an excellent set to use as there are large areas suitable for colouring in. To build my picture I used post-it-note to mask off areas so that I could make a bigger picture and give a 3D effect. Here is a close up of the spotlit area


Stampin' Write markers were used for the colouring in Lucky Limeade and Blushing Bride - I used matching card stock for matting and layering.
Of course as this was a workshop you will find a step by step tutorial here on my Craft Club Blog.
See you later - Jacqueline xx

So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr

 I have decided to try and get on top of my Christmas cards early this year and so far it’s going well!!! Here is a card that has been made using the Sweet Gingerbread set - I love gingerbread houses and the stamps and matching dies are really cute. I used the sketch from  52 Christmas Card Throwdown  - this is a brilliant Christmas challenge blog (I started it many years ago with Mynn Kitchen) and it’s a perfect way to get organised with Christmas crafting.
