Hello and happy Labor Day to those celebrating. For my card today, I modified the spotlighting technique to use with the Blooming Sweet Pea 3D embossing folder to create a very simple floral card.
Started by die cutting a circle stencil from masking paper using Circle Basics die. Adhered the stencil to a Bristol panel and applied Milled Lavender distress ink (DI) with a blender brush.
Insert the panel into the embossing folder and ran it through my die cutting machine.
Placed the circle stencil back and applied Shaded Lilac DI to the raised areas.
Used a sanding block next to buff the raised areas and remove the colors.
You could skip applying the darker ink color before sanding, but I wanted the contrast. For some texture and a faux watercolor look, spritz it with water and blot with a paper towel.
A circle frame was then die cut from Twilight Purple color paper with the circle die used to create the stencil and the next circle size up. The Signature Greeting sentiment was heat embossed with white embossing powder on black cardstock, then die cut out with the matching die. Assembled the card onto a white card base and added some clear jewels to finish.
Really simple… and that does it for me. Thank you for joining me today. Have a wonderful week.

Gorgeous card. I have just tried sanding foil card stock but had not thought of doing that on regular card stock. So creative and clever. LOVE the look. And a totally new way to do Spotlighting! Great work Trina!
