Spotlight stamping - Inspiration for Christmas

Hi Friends,
I recently saw the video posted by amazing Jennifer on her channel describing the spotlight stamping technique and gave it a try.
Although my take is not as elaborate as hers and uses a single outline stamp with minimal colors, I loved the effect and the fact that it was really so easy to do after hearing her explain!
Here are the cards.
A bit early for Christmas, but hey, better late than never!

Being Thankful!

Hey friends!
The year is coming to a close and we have a fresh year to look forward to. I wish to take thsi moment to pause and thank all those who made my crafting journey possible. Family, friends, relatives, co workers, supportes, you awesome blog readers and finally self. Thanks a lot for the belief and hopefully I create better things in the coming year.

I wanted a way to express this and also share it woth others using a simple means of expressions. So I came up with the bunch of tags below.

These bunch were taken off before the blink of an eye actually!
I cut tags of size 2X3 inches from various colored cardstocks and stamped a "I am Thankful For" note on all of them using my Impresso Stamping tool . That is as simple fo that.

I am sure the recipents will love the token of gratitude!!!


Hope you loved this project :)

Love

I am in Hog Heaven!!! Feat. MFT stencils and stamps

Hey there!
It is the last month of the year and all around the world there is this festive cheer of Christmas and the upcoming year. Will all that jubilation I have a fun and cute card to share with you all today. Here it is!

I have used the MFT Mixables Paisley stencil with Mementonto Tuxedo black ink an create a background here. Once done, I took a MDF chipboard cutout and painted it white using Camlin Texture Paste. I adhered it onto the centre to define a main focal point. Then I stamped the flying pig from the "Hog Heaven" stmapset from MFT. The sentiment goes perfectly with the image. I simply colored over the image using watercolor pencils.
