We start a new challenge over at Crafting with an Attitude and our theme is always "Anything Goes." Our wonderful sponsor this month is Lacy Sunshine (Colour of Love) and I'm using a darling image called Rory's Winter Day.
I decided to do a card using the 'spotlight' technique so I printed the image twice, cut one with a rectangle die from Spellbinders, and colored the second one with my ProMarkers, adding just a touch of sparkle with some glitter on the snowflakes.
Once colored, I used a circle die (QuicKutz) to cut just the portion of the image where I wanted to focus attention. I inked the edges of both cut pieces, then layered the colored circle on top of the black and white image to create the 'spotlight.'
I found an icy-blue card base, wrapped it with sparkly, silver and white ribbon, then added the image. I printed the sentiment, hand cut it, and added it to the lower section of the card front. I think this is a delightful CAS design with just enough sparkle to celebrate the cold chill of early January!

My colors came from My Favorite Things.

Love the idea of a spotlight on this image, it works so well and so does the colouring and colours.
