The Spotlight is on Leaf Collection and ME for Chain Card Swap!

Welcome to the Chain Card Swap Blog Hop! This hop is all about me and the CASES of my card. I encourage you to start here and follow along to see the progression of my card through the group. Its so interesting to see the development!

Round 9 is all about my card! I have created a bright and colourful InColour card highlighting the Leaf Collection stamp set with the Spotlight technique. I've used some of my favourite products from the Annual catalogue.

This card was created as part of a chain for our Aussie online card group ..

Lets take a closer look at this card. 

The Spotlight technique is easy and gives any image an interesting twist. Simply stamp your image onto your cardbase and on another sheet stamp the images again in different colours and cut out with a die or punch. Layer it over the base matching the shape to the background, adding dimensional foam dots helps to elevate the spotlight look.  Have you tried this technique before? 

Some of my favourite items are: 

* Leaf Collection Background stamp (163610)

* InColor Cardstock (163804)

* Deckled Circle Dies (162286)

* Wanted to Say Dies (161594)

Full of Life Tropical Leaf Chain Card Swap for Tracy

Welcome to the Chain Card Swap Blog Hop! This hop is all about Tracy and the CASES of her card. I encourage you to start the blog hop at Tracy's blog and follow along to see the progression of her card through the group. Its so interesting to see the development!

I was 2nd in the chain for Round 7 and have created a soft looking yet 'full of life" card with the online exclusive bundle Tropical Leaf. 

Here's is the card I CASE'd from Tracy, I love the cute side fun fold flap on this card design showing the DSP. The other aspect I really like is the embossed background, a subtle look in white but love the texture it adds. 

Lets take a closer look at my card. I love how the DSP adds that watrercoloured feel but without the effort or mess. This DSP - Full of Life - has ALL the colours! Usually a paper pack has 6-8 colours max, this pack displays over 20 easily. 

The front of the card is also created with and an embossed background using Dotted Circle and the featured Tropical leaf, stampe in Balmy Blue and cut with the matching leaf punch. 

The theme continues right thru the card 

I'm loving the online bundle Tropical Leaf -its simple, affordable and so convenient with the leaf punch right there to help cut out the perfect leaf quickly, its a gret addition to any of your beautiful projects.
