This is an image I've had in my collection for a while but I can't remember ever using it. It came from Rick St. Dennis (Sparkle n Glitter) and it seemed perfect for doing a "Spotlight Technique."
I started with two of the images, leaving one completely black and white and coloring most of the second one with my ProMarkers. I really love subdued shades of pink, green, and yellow for vintage cards.
I used one of my diamond shaped dies from Spellbinders to cut out an angled section of the colored image, but I trimmed that to make it narrower than the die shape. I matted that colored piece with a double layer of sandalwood CS to give some dimension and texture, then layered it onto the black and white image, lining it up with the image below.
I matted the white image piece with some green CS and wrapped that with pink and green polka dot ribbon. I used my bow maker to tie a 5-loop bow using two different ribbons. All of that went onto a pink card front. I added a die cut butterfly (Cheery Lynn) and put pearls on it's body and also on the lower corner of the card.

I'm heading back into my craft room to work on some DT cards. I like to be ahead a couple of weeks on those just so I'm not scrambling at the last minute but, somehow, time too often gets away from me despite my best intentions. Enjoy the rest of your weekend, my friends. Happy Stamping. NanaConnie
