PWC242 - New Technique

This week Paper Pretties is challenging you to try a "New Technique".  Are you cringing?  It's such a drag to try new stuff isn't it?  I know I'm reluctant to take the time to try something new when it's so much easier to just keep doing the same old things.  BUT I also know that it's good to stretch a little, so give it a try, there must be something you've seen online that you wanted to try.  If you need some help coming up with an idea you can go to Splitcoast Stampers.  There's a section of tutorials with lots of techniques you probably haven't tried yet.  Here's a link so you can find it easily.

 

My card used the "spotlight" technique.  It's pretty easy to do.  Stamp your image twice.  On one image color sections that you will punch out.  Mat the section(s) you colored, apply dimensionals and mount it to the uncolored image in the area that it matches.  I'm not sure if I like it or not, at first I didn't care for it but it's starting to grow on me.
