So, here's a look at the finished card:
STEP 1
I started out by stamping the sentiment from Dee's Artsy Impressions - Christmas Bell Medley first as this will be a one layer card and I will build around my sentiment.
STEP 2
Then I stamped the bell stamp in the reverse direction to get a solid stamp image and randomly stamped it on my card base. Then I did a second round of stamping over the solid image using the stamp the way it is supposed to be used :)
STEP 3
Finally I stamped a few other stamps from the set on the card base to build a background. I also went with a red colored pencil over the bells to add some shading.
Here's the finished card once again :)
That finishes my spotlight feature :) I hope you enjoyed it and will give this a try. Happy paper crafting!
