Technique Tuesday - Spotlighting

Today's technique is a simple one! It's called "spotlighting" and this is the card that I created to showcase it. I'm really into sponging right now, so of course it has that too!!!!

Really what spotlighting does is show up a piece of the focal image a bit more. This example shows it very simply - the background to the 'spotlight' is plain, while the background of the image is stamped. You will usually see this technique the other way around... I may make some more samples to show it!
So, simply put, you make two of your stamped images. One of them with some sort of different background, and then punch it out with a circle punch (usually!). Then you adhere the punched out image over the place in the main image that matches up. Simple huh?

Do you like this card? I'm giving it away with 9 other cards in a contest for my Facebook fans. What? You're not a fan yet? Better sign up soon - I'll start the contest on Friday. Here is the link to my page, just click on the link and then click on 'become a fan'.(If you don't have a Facebook account you'll have to set that up first!)
