Spotlight

 A new challenge at Try It On Tuesday!
This time it's called 'In the Spotlight' so we would like to see something spotlighted (highlighted) on whatever you create!

I used a Sweet Poppy stencil.

This was a really quick card to put together too which sometimes is needed when you're running round last minute!

Grey ink first on the base card then another piece of card using red ink through the stencil and a little green on the visible flower stems.

I used a wavy die to cut it out and glued it on top. 
Edged it with a black pen to make it pop a bit more.

For some reason I really struggled taking the pic - I was getting lots of glare from nowhere so it does look a little stark bright white here!

Lots of lovely inspiration over on the challenge blog from the rest of the team and our lovely Guest Designer - please pay them a visit!
Thanks for stopping by. x

What an interesting way to spotlight some of the flowers on this card - a refreshing change from the more usual circle. Love it and might pinch the idea if that's OK 😉

This is really pretty Viv and I love the contrast of the pop of red and green for the flowers through the centre wavy panel, a clever idea, and the lovely sentiment finishes it perfectly. x
