Spotlighting

I made this card using Stamp TV Technique - Spotlighting. I used Melanie Muechinger’s stamp set called A Year of Flowers. I stamped one poinsettia, masked it and stamped it two more times. I used the grid on my craft mat to help me line up the stamps when I stamp the flowers so I could repeat the same stamp pattern. The spotlighted image was cut with a CM circle cutter. I used a dubber with Memento Rich Cocoa. The card stock is Pure Luxury white from Gina K. The ink is SU Rose Red. Then I colored it with Copic markers. The base card is Pure Luxury white. The red and tartan are from a Christmas pack by DCWV. I used CM oval and circle cutting system to cut out the images. The red accent is EK Success Large Flourish Punch. I love this punch. A new challenge for me is Daring Card Makers. Their challenge is to use tartan somewhere on the card. I had to look up the word. I love it when I learn something new. Tartan is a woolen cloth woven with stripes crossing at right angles, worn by Scottish Highlanders. I should have know that. My dad was Scottish and was asked to wear a kilt. He refused. He was 6'2' and was afraid it would be to short. LOL!!
I am really happy with the way this card turn out. So let me know what you think.

Cracked Glass

The technique this week at Stamp TV is called Cracked Glass. I didn't have the thick clear embossing powder and I did have to do the technique many times to get it to work. I think I liked it better before I cracked it but it is a different look. I don't think it is a technique I will use much. Now that I say that I will probably find myself using it more than I thought I would. It would look cool on a winter card.
The stamp is by Theresa Momber call Autumn Beauty. I used Copic markers. The card stock is SU Certainly Celery, Always Artichoke and Pure Luxury Green Apple. The sentiment is by Melanie Muenchinger. The tag is Fancy Tags.
This card also works for Paper Manic Challenge #2 which is ribbon. Pile it On which is punchers. Do nesties count as a punch?
