The card I'm sharing today is my take on 'Spotlight Stamping' which is the challenge for January at
The Flower Challenge blog...I created three windows on the front panel through which you can see the coloured in images...the images on this top panel are not coloured in and so the focus goes straight to the gold coloured flowers inside the windows..

I started by laying out my stamps on my MISTI so that they stamp just a half panel(except the large flower in the center)...this way I could rotate the panel 180 degrees and stamp the images on the other half easily...I created two panels this way....one stamped with black ink and the second one with picked raspberry Distress Oxide ink...
I then used double pierced rectangle dies to create the three windows as well as the border of the front panel...on the base panel,I coloured in the flower images using gold watercolor and added some gold dots as well as a few pink die cut centers for the flowers....I then adhered this panel to a white card base...
On the back of the top panel,I added some adhesive foam strips and then placed it on the card front...I stamped the sentiment on a large die cut banner and used some more adhesive foam to place it on the card front...they don't make much of a difference but I have added some clear Nuvo drops to embellish my card...
Thanks so much for visiting my blog today...Have a lovely & blessed day ahead....Happy crafting...!!
