This is for the Mini VSN Spotlight On Ice challenge.
The challenge was to feature one's favorite olympic game using the spotlight technique. When I read the challenge, I had immediately in mind this cute Peanuts stamp...
I know that the original spotlight technique leaves the main image monochromatic and colors only the spotlight piece, but I considered it such a pity to leave Charlie Brown monochromatic... guess he would have got a severe depression if I did that, LOL! So i cheated a little bit and colored everything, nevertheless, there's a spotlight, isn't it?! I used all the olympic colors in my image (yeah, where's the yellow??? Take a close look on Charlie's cap!), and I added some Stickles for the snow - hard to be seen on the photo. And because it is hard to see as well: The tab on top of the card says "Snowball Fight", and the epoxy sticker says "Sleigh Ride".
I hope you have the same fun looking at this card I had when creating it...

This is a fun card!! I like the way Charlie Brown is heading down the hill and right into us, the observer. Good for you for participating in the challenge. Is it still snowing in Germany?

Most definitely there's a spotlight technique going on her, Christiane. Oh, please dont acknowledge taking license with the challenge. It's really whatever you perceive as being the guidelines. I happen to love this guy colored~ how else would I know it's Snoopy? This sort of reminds me of your youtube dog video with all that snow everywhere. Wonderfully fun card, my friend.
