Today I have a very easy technique to share in my Penny Black Gimme 5 video, it’s time to do some Spotlight Colouring!
Just in case you haven’t noticed there has been a lot of ‘Spotlight’ ing going on in the card world at the moment and I decided this would be a fun idea for these CAS cards today.
Here we gooooooo……
Spotlight a portion of the image….
Spotlight around the image…
Spotlight within the image…
Popped up Spotlight…
Spotlight a recessed and shaped image…
You can see my video here or Watch it in HD at Youtube.

Just when I think “I’ve spent enough money on stamps latelyâ€(yes, again!), you go and inspire me with new ones!! Love those two girls! And your spotlight colouring is great… makes a card seem less daunting! Thanks for sharing!
I love your “gimme 5” series. I never fail to be amazed by your creativity and I always gets lots of inspiration. Thank you!
Your cards are so special. I think you’re inventive and creative. I loved your video, Five cards in 12 minutes is beyond my imagination. And you created 5 different, yet extraordinary cards. Thank you!
Lovely show on the spotlighting. All so very eye-catching.
You are soooo clever Therese – just love each of the cards.
Thank you for bringing PB videos into my craft room…love your techniques…stamps on order. Your videos always a high lgh fo my day…..
oh Therese – so creative an clever – 5 beautiful cards and I made none in the weekend – love your thought process and love your work xxxx
Oh wow! Creative takes on spotlight colouring!!
I just love your spotlight coloring. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like this so I was quite amazed. I love all of them and I doubt I could pick a favourite, although I do love cats……
Fabulous cards, Therese! I especially like the wizard – brilliant idea to use the star shape as the highlight.
Fabulous. Love this/these technique ideas for a time when you don’t have time to colour a whole image! Love the PB stamp sets you have used to. Lucky they not available in my local online store wink wink or they would be on my wishlist.
WOW!!!!! STUNNING!
Oh Therese these are fantastic! I love the sketched girl design cards. So French…ooolala.
Five amazing spotlight cards, Therese! Each one has its own personal style! I love the background on the Parisian girl, the splatters over the balloons, the use of the magnifying glass and glasses, and the rich purple coloring on that wizard!
Wow! These cards are Amazing! I love spot lighting but you have taken it to a whole new level. I never thought to use die cut shapes for the highlighted area. It looks fabulous. Thanks for sharing. I will be doing this very soon.
So cute and clever, Therese … I love how you’ve used different elements to spotlight each card … so creative … and brilliant! Hugs, Anita 🙂
Fabulous cards Therese!!!
Great stamps and I just love the wiz card.
Happy to say I’ve been “spotlighting” a bit myself. Really adds fun to a card.
Thanks for all the inspiration you provide.
Cheers
Lisa
Absolutely love these cards. Such a different approach to spotlight. Thanks for sharing.
These are all fantastic, Therese. I love the way you used the glasses and magnifier to spotlight part of the image. I also love the way you colored the crystal ball and background for the wizard. Stunning!
Amazing creations, Therese, you are so creative!
Love your “Gimme 5” series! Each video is loaded with lots of great techniques and inspiration. Plus, I love your easy approach to crafting with things like—I was going to do such and such, but it was just too much today! I feel that way sometimes, too; but no matter which approach you take, it’s always creative and artistic. Thanks! 🙂
Wow!!!! Thanks for all the ideas. Thanks, thanks, thanks.
Did I say thanks?
Well, thanks.
Absolutely, well and truly AMAZING!!
Hi Therese! I made your balloon girl card over the weekend for our g-daughter that just turned 15. I used pink instead of orange though… So fun! She liked it! yay! Thanks again for inspiring! I didn’t get any pictures… 3 cards to make in a day and a half and it was out the door. oh well. 😀
