For this VSN, the challenge was to use the spotlight technique. I have also been playing with the faux suede technique, and so that is the background that I stamped in Soft Suede (appropriate colour for faux suede). The spotlighted portion is just coloured in with markers. I stuck with the Olympic colours: real red, brilliant blue, basic black, summer sun and garden green.
I also had some fun with some brads and the real red double stitched grosgrain along with the linen thread.....I just played.
This will be my dad's birthday card. I hope that he likes it!

I like how you made the spotlight by putting the hole over the image. Pretty card.
