Hi Everyone,
This is the card I will be giving to my mother in law for Mother's Day this year. I used the Daisy Basket stamp from DRS Designs for the focal image, along with the spotlight technique. Have you ever tried this before? I really should use it more often because the effect is really cool.
I stamped the image and cut it out with my Nesties. Then I stamped the image a second time on a separate piece of cardstock, cutting out a portion using a 1 3/4" punch. This circular part is the only thing that is then colored, and adhered onto the main image with a pop dot. I cut out one of the butterflies from the Three Butterflies stamp and used it like an embellishment, and of course my favorite Polka Dot stamp from the latest release had to make its way onto the card :)
With the dots and the bow at the top, I needed to balance out the bottom with some black as well, so I used a Martha Stewart border punch and some bling to make it even more girlie.
Thanks for visiting and I'm also posting at DRS Designs today, so stop by over there and say hi!

What a gorgeous card,great idea with the coloured part.xxx
Wow, Karin, so much bling there... what a generous lady you are to part with so much bling!!! Lol! I would never use more than three - five gems, you know... that's me - a hoarder!!!
This is so unusual... I like the way you have piece stamped it. That is the right, terminology, right? Black adds a lot of elegance to it.
