Tonight I have another card for you made during the splitcoaststampers virtual stamp night - so another card that took 45 minutes or less. This one took less. The challenge was to use the spotlighting technique. It's not a technique I use very often, but decided that the cat on the chair from the Peace Within set would be a great one to use with this technique. Here's what I came... Read more →
