Spotlight Technique Inspired By Katie Skiff

My friend and teammate Katie Skiff just posted a video on the Spotlight technique that you can use on cards or even in scrapbooking.  CLICK HERE to watch her video on YouTube.  She shows a few different variations of this technique.  And below is a card I made using my own variation of that technique.  I love it!


 I colored the flowers with Twinkling H2o watercolors, colored the butterflies with Sakura Stardust Gelly Roll Pen, and the frame was cut using Sizzix square dies and my Cuttlebug.

Now for some challenges....
