It’s a special day! I’m going to teach you a card making technique: spotlight! I think this is the best spotlight card this year. I know y’all love learning card making techniques too!
I was inspired to create this handmade card from a card I received from my friend Christine who is also on my team! I loved her version and I know you’ll love learning this card making technique.
I had already designed my card for another Mystery Stamping when I got her card in the mail. I may use her card as a Mystery Stamping project in the future! I know I have mentioned Mystery Stamping several times lately. I have been inspired by giving clues every Monday on my Facebook Sharon Armstrong page. You should join us! If you will “like” and follow my page when I go Live you will be notified by Facebook when I’m live.
I post the first clue every Sunday so that you can gather your supplies. Then join me Live on Monday at Noon Central where I will give you the rest of the clues to make your card! It’s super fun and you just use the supplies you have in your craft room!
Celebrating Sunflowers (#152517) includes a large image which is perfect for this card making technique. This is what we call the spotlight technique. You will want an image that will work on both of the Whisper White layers. Key tip is to stamp your sentiment first so you know where to stamp your focal image.

The above card uses:
- Night of Navy Cardstock
- Whisper White Cardstock
- Night of Navy Stampin’ Blends (duo #)
- Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends (duo #) but I only used the Dark one on my card.

Such a lovely Thank You card! I was very touched to receive it. That’s how people feel when you send them a handmade card! Never forget that! And just like how I am putting my card up on display to admire every time I see it that is what your friends and family do when they get your handmade art work!
