 Card made by Jen King |
The first way to create a spotlight is to punch out only a section of the image. This draws your attention to only the part of the image that you want to include. This is also a good way to use your existing | |||
|
stamp sets with more versatility. You can use a punch to remove a section of the image you want to exclude. In this card, the 1 3/8 and 1 1/4 inch circle punches were used with the Booglie Eyes stamp set. Punching out these images draws attention to the faces of the Halloween characters and makes them the obvious focal point of the card. |

To create the effect shown in this card, the image of the presents was stamped twice. The 1 3/8 inch circle punch was used to remove sections of the image that were colored and then | |||
| layered onto the existing image. This creates an obvious focal point and also is a fun way to quickly add a splash of color. | ||||

To create this type of spotlight effect, copy paper was punched using the 3/4, 1/2, and 1/4 inch punches. Two-way glue was applied to the back of the circles and allowed to dry. You can also use a post-it note and punch through the sticky section to achieve the same effect. Then the circles were laid out over the fish image, | |||
| which is stamped on glossy white cardstock. A brayer was used to add the Tempting Turquoise ink to the entire surface. When the circles were peeled up, white areas remained. Any areas that covered the fish were colored using an Only Orange marker. | ||||
