Today I have a twist to an old technique. Do you remember the “spotlighting” technique of many years ago? We would stamp a large image and then draw a circle, or stamp again on scrap and punch a circle. Then you only colored the image inside that circle. So today’s card began with that idea.
My idea of the “spotlight” didn’t quite work out. I planned to spotlight the wreath, but that looked odd because of the light just above it. It would have been a long oval instead of a circle. So I finally decided just to do the light pole and wreath. I am happy with how it turned out. I would still call this “spotlighting”, just a different version!
All of the stamps are from the Light Me Home stamp set. I love this image. It seems to be the Old Fashioned Christmas card look. I wanted Rich colors for the card and chose Cherry Cobbler and Shaded Spruce. The colors I used in the wreath are all the Light color of each of the Stampin’ Blends. They are all listed in my supply list at the bottom of the post.
The sentiment is from the stamp set and is cut using the Layering Circles Dies. To give it a grounded look, I cut a strip of Shaded Spruce 1/2″ X 2 1/2″ and used the Banner Pick A Punch to make the banner end.
