An impressive use of the Negative Spotlight Technique let us use the tried and true Lovely As a Tree Stamp Set. We are pretty sure every one of our Second Tuesday Stampers has this old standby set and if not we are pretty sure it will be 100% after this month. Many thanks to Julie Davis at Julie's Stamping Spot for a very nice tutorial and lots of ideas to make this technique work for our stampers.
The example we followed uses a sympathy sentiment, but we chose to make it a birthday greeting. There's a reason we think that our stamp set is so versatile!

A Spotlight on Lovely as a Tree Card
We cut some strips of Smoky Slate and So Saffron Card Stock, saved a little So Saffron CS Scrap and commenced to creating. Stamping twice, once on the top piece of Grey card stock and again on our So Saffron spotlighted section on scrap gave us the basis for our card. Both layers of our image feature are stamped in Basic Grey Ink and after using the 1 1/4" Circle Punch to create our spotlight, we lined things up and adhered the pieces together. Our use of some Dimensionals to pop up the top layer is the pièce de résistance.
