CAS Challenge 28: masculine
I kinda flaked. I'm not feeling very well today and this is what I came up with. It's more for a young boy. At least it's not pink. Pink is what DS calls girly... he's 14 with Asperger's.
I used the spotlighting technique. It's great to focus in on one thing, which is what I was after for this sentiment. (It's also great when you don't have time to color a huge image. The inside continues the sentiment... "at least for today. Happy Birthday!"
Stamps: DRS Designs
Paper: white, more mustard

Oh I LOVE this. The sentiment is perfect for this technique and the image you chose. I've never tried spotlighting.....I think I'm going to have to give this a try. Thanks for the inspiration...hope you're feeling better!

Perfect technique for that sentiment!! I have seen but never tried it... maybe today!! It sure does allow a large, needing color image to be able to be a Clean and Simple card!!!
