Hello everyone, it has been a few days since I have posted anything, so I thought I would post a technique I am going to do at a friends workshop on Thursday. This technique is called spotlighing and is real easy and you get an elegant looking card. I made this a while back at one of my uplines workshops. Sorry such a short post but I have a lot of running to do today. I will try and post the directions for spotligting yet today. thanks for visiting and Please leave a comment.
