Botanical Butterflies Spotlight Technique. But first, remember that we are getting VERY close to the end of Sale-a-Bration. There are really only a few more days left, so I thought I would share a last few projects with you that use Sale-a-Bration products.
I spotted a card on Pinterest earlier this week and it really caught my eye. It was a card made by Kylie Page, a Demo in Australia and it really is stunning, so I knew I would have to CASE it (Copy And Share Everything). I used the Stitched Rectangles to cut both the Spotlight element and the Basic Black Frame. This resulted in larger frame than in the original, but it actually makes it easier to make the card as there is more ‘wiggle room’.
The key is to cut the Spotlight element so that it is exactly the same as the area on the card that you are covering. It must be straight too, but other than that, it is simply a question of colouring in the picture with Blends (or Stampin’ Write Markers if you would prefer). I chose a few really bright colours that would ‘pop’ from the page – this is not a time for being subtle.
Once you have coloured the Spotlight element, simply adhere it to the Basic Black Frame and then to the Designer Series Paper. Once you have adhered everything to the card base you are done. Really quick, but really stunning card. I am so pleased I spotted Kylie’s card on Pinterest. The Spotlight Technique is certainly one I must keep in mind for future projects.

Cool card. You could actually cut the panel you are going to color out of the main piece as the black ,at will hide the gap. Mind the gap !!
