Inspiring Inkin' with Amanda Fowler Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator

I love this stamp set, it’s called Fresh Cuts and it’s in the mini, it is such a versatile set.  Now a couple of weeks ago at my Tuesday Technique club we made this card, it’s a technique called spotlighting, very straightforward but a lovely effect.

I have taken an Old Olive card blank with the fold at the top, stamped the large Fresh Cut image onto Whisper White card and matted it onto So Saffron card.  I have then stamped part of the image again onto Whisper White card and punched it out using the 1 1 /4″ circle punch.  Then using a lovely blender pen I’ve coloured the image using the re-inkers to get more depth of colour, but you could easily use the markers too!  I’ve used a So Saffron 1 3/8″ circle punch to mat my coloured image on and placed it matching the pattern with the original picture.  A piece of the fabulous striped So Saffron ribbon  and a sentiment punched the the matching ovals completes the card.

If you’d like to join a technique club I will be starting them again after the summer, I have Tuesday daytime and evening, or if you want to get started straight away I have a few places left on my Stampers 10 club please email me for more details.

Happy Stampin’
