Quick & Easy Stampin’ Blends with Spotlight on Nature!

Create a Friend Card with the Spotlight on Nature Bundle from Stampin' Up! Card by Mary Fish, Stampin' Pretty

The Stampin’ Up! Spotlight on Nature bundle has been a hot product! I love the “spotlight” effect of cropping the image and popping up this circle (double stacked my Stampin’ Dimensionals) for a “spotlight” effect. The Flirty Flamingo layer below peeks through in a way that makes me smile. The Spotlight on Nature dies are on the list of My Favorite Things for their incredible versatility and sweet details.

WHAT I LOVE! Coloring the flowers with my light and dark Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blends couldn’t be easier. The lines of the flower images are your guide as you add short flicks of layered color. No blending, shading or learning curve needed.

  1. What a sweet card! Perfect stamp set for the spotlight technique. Love the grey and flamingo color combination. I’ve noticed you’re using the Mini MISTI. I thought SU! Demonstrators were to promote SU! products only. Is the MISTI an item SU! will be offering in the future?

    • Since Stampin’ Up! does not offer a stamp positioning tool, we can promote the MISTI. I always check with compliance before I share links to non-su products. Mary
