“Life is a matter of moments.” I love this modified quote of Rose Kennedy. She actually said, “Life is not a matter of milestones, but of moments.” However, I love the succinct version even more! I thought this spotlighting technique fit the quote perfectly. One of my favorite “life moments” is sharing a cup of coffee or tea with friends and just enjoying their company. It is one of those moments that breaks up the mundane and hard things in life. Here is a short description of the technique:
SPOTLIGHTING
1) Stamp desired image on two pieces of card stock. Set one aside to serve as background for spotlighted image.
2) On the other piece of card stock, color the area you wish to highlight.
3) Punch out the part of the image you wish to highlight.
4) Line up punched, colored piece with the separate stamped image and adhere.
5) Complete project.
Tip: Consider layering spotlighted piece over contrasting color of card stock cut slightly larger. This will help accentuate the spotlight.
