Spotlighting with a twist

Spotlighting has been around for awhile and I have done a few cards using that technique, but I decided to add a new twist today. When I saw the trick of die-cutting white foam to match the paper so that popping up the piece was easier, I was stuck as I had no white foam. But then I remembered the stash of coloured foam that had been sitting there for years! Yay - I get to use the stash.

Here's a close-up side view. Love how it adds to the spotlight technique. Lovely pop of colour.

    Beautiful card, love that pop of colour from the coloured foam. I only jave coloured foam myself so always use but have always cut smaller so it doesnt show but I love that look.

    Spotlighting is such a fabulous technique and you've used it stunningly here. Blue and white just never gets old and your colouring shows it beautifully. Superb card.
