Using Faux Spotlighting Technique with Stampin'Up! Perfectly Penciled Designer Series Paper
May 12, 2022
Today we're going to create Using Faux Spotlighting Technique with Stampin'Up! Perfectly Penciled Designer Series Paper. Tuesday we used the traditional 'spotlighting' technique with this new designer paper...if you missed it check it out here..https://www.sandilovesstamping.com/2022/05/beautiful-designs-with-the-new-stampinup-perfectly-penciled-designer-series-paper.html
The traditional technique uses a well defined area to "spotlight" like the circle used on Tuesday's card. The Faux sp0tlighting uses a less well defined "spot" as we did in today's card...we chose one image as our "spotlight" and that becomes the focal point for coloring...here's today's card...
a bit closer...
Notice the shading of the color on the flowers---that's all accomplished with the designer paper. After coloring the selected image--Iconsidered including the small cluster of flowers on the right side ...I can't decide--include? What do you think? Should I use Dark Real Red for those, another color, or leave them as they are?
This gorgeous set of papers offers you so many choices and each one is totally lovely...as I mentioned Tuesday--the fronts of the papers are florals and leaves and the back sides are geometrics. This allows the possibility of mixing the florals and geometrics for another set of beautiful cards....maybe I'll try that n
Happily the Brushed Brass Butterflies carried over from the spring mini catalog to the new Annual catalog. (BTW if you don't have a demonstrator and have not yet received a new catalog--contact me and we'll get one to [email protected]).
The Happy Birthday greeting is from the middle sized verses in Go To Greetings (#158763)--a new set in the catalog this year designed to give you 4 of the most frequently used greetings in 3 different sizes and fonts (plus an additional Hello). You'll want to have this in your greetings arsenal.
I'll give you step by step directions below followed by the supply list.
