I made this card to use in 3 challenges this week: On SCS Lydia left us a wonderful video to demonstrate using this seamless spotlighting technique for the Mixed Media challenge over on Splitccoaststampers. I needed a few thank you cards for this time of the year, so I made it into a thank you card and decided to link it to the Alphabet Challenge T is for thank you, and thee Sweet stampin' challenge this week whose theme was thank you cards. The link and details for each of these challenges can be found here:
My background stamp is from Impression Obsessions, and I used Versafine clair black ink, picket fence distress oxide ink for shading the bottom layer, and alcohol markers for the coloring part of the spotlighting technique. I used rust cardstock as the cardbase and as the paper for the die cut, which is from Sizzix.
