Spotligting

I absolutely love the spotlighting technique! It is a great way to show off one particular stamp. For this one I choose SU Garden Collage © stamping it on some cream flecked paper I had twice and then using my Marvy square punch to punch out around the butterfly. I also punched a black square to mount that on and then trimmed my butterfly punched square just slightly to make a black border. I used both my watercolor crayons and also pastel chalks for coloring the butterfly square. I mounted it on top of the other flecked stamped image lining up the edges so it looked like it was part of the picture and then continued matting and layering with card stock from the Paper Place that I had on hand. I added a bit of ribbon that was laying around too :) I really liked how it turned out.
