Crafting Passions: Focus on tulips

Here's a card with a new technique that I learned on the VSN weekend - Spyglass. The idea is to not color the whole image but to focus on just one spot and color that spot. I think it makes a nice statement.

The image is from Penny Black - Blooming Tulips from way back in 1998. I stamped the image twice. The big one I mounted on deep yellow card stock and the other I chose just the spot I wanted to highlight and colored it with Copics. I cut out a circle using my Spellbinders small circles and mounted it on another circle of the purple card stock. The focus spot is popped-up and placed exactly where it belongs on the larger image.

I got the lace from my local Scrapbook store and the pearls from Prima. The base card is Very Vanilla from SU.

I am entering this card in the following challenges:

PaperPlay Challenges Week 21 - Blossoms and Blooms
Make It Monday - Anything Goes
KB Cute Monday #14 - Girly - what's more girly than lace and flowers
Delicious Doodles #27 - Lace

Until next time, thanks for stopping by.
