I did not feel well yesterday...I have inner ear allergies...so I did not make a card all day....plus the kids were out of school so I was busy with them. I am feeling a lot better today!!!!
I combined yesterday(limited supplies challenge) and today's challenge(inspiration photo).
I used one background, no dp and quick embellishments and tools.....I used the spotlight technique to emphasis the part of the bg that I wanted to be my focal point. I am really enjoying this background stamp.
For the spotlight technique I cut out an oval frame using nestabilities. I adhered the frame to the section of the card I wanted to spotlight. Colored the flower within that area and left everything else black and white.

You just make gorgeous, awesome cards. This is beautiful. I'm really partial to cards using red, white and black these days. Love the stamping and coloring and the photo corner.

I saw your car after I tried to post mine. I couldn't get it posted and when I saw yours, I thought hers is such a wonderful beautiful card, why would I want to post mine. I did it anyway. Yours takes the prize!!!!!
