{Spotlight Project} Shirley Goes On A Hashtag Spree
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghS6XjVhUT4f1p99XsxN36cA50Pg_pvpqfRW9aCoCI904IakgFSfSou-fWbbC_jYDYFM7cOkvOeGL682IUYbQ-zGcx4vO-4mp-jttSkyV34pA3wyEzqPoeFPNwyA3mVWohUUVeA2_WlJky/s1600/spotlightproject-shirley.png)
I've been playing with all the hashtag words in the February 2017 stamp club set, Hello You.
I laid them in two rows on an acrylic block then stamped across a kraft panel with Versamark.
You'll observe that the stamping isn't very neat! Fortunately it was just going to be a background. I embossed it with clear powder before sponging Old Paper Distress Ink through the Just Squares stencil.
Then I diecut a panel of white card using the Art Edges CUTplorations die. I stamped and fussy cut the mobile phone and watercoloured it with Hickory Smoke.
I had to perform a bit of stamp surgery because my panel was too narrow to accommodate the "It's been a while" sentiment on one line. I stapled the panel to the background then mounted it onto my card base.
I like the contrast of hashtags/mobile phone and good old-fashioned notepaper :)
If you try out any of the techniques from our Spotlight posts, link up your project up at our Spotlight Project Showcase.
