spotlight technique

https://cardz4galz.blogspot.com/

Challenge #225 as chosen by Caz, has the theme of World Bee Day. She will also choose the winners.

When cleaning up and organizing my craft room, I came across a set of pre-printed note cards that I have never truly used. One or two here and there, but the box is still almost full. I liked this design and decided to make my life easy, and use it for my card sample. The CS is slightly rough similar to a linen feel and the pattern continues on the back. I searched for some bee stamps (don’t have many) and found these two tiny ones, as well as the movement spiral, in a GKD set. After test stamping I figured they would work so added them along with the small sentiment stamp, a gift from Kitchen Sink stamps. Using Inktense pencils I coloured in the bees, the rose, and then added water to blend. I also added a sparkle pen to the wings. Initially I thought about colouring in all the flowers, but instead decided to spotlight only one. I used yellow because in the language of flowers yellow denotes friendship.

I’m quite happy with how this ended up and don’t think I could have improved on it even if I had stamped the entire design. Thanks for stopping by, it is appreciated.
