Hi all. I'm FINALLY here with my JUGS71 project! I'm a little behind because, 1 - I procrastinate...which means I put off making my card until Friday evening. 2 - Friday evening my kiddo found out she was accepted to the University of Florida...so naturally we had to celebrate! I haven't felt that hot all weekend, but I finally mustered the energy to put my project together today! Those are my excuses, and I'm sticking to them! LOL Without further adieu, I would like to present you with our fellow JUGS gal, Andrea's challenge to use the spotlighting technique! One of my faves!!
I wasn't feeling a card, so I went with a template that believe it or not I have YET to use (until now)! I've been wanting to use the MTME Tea Tabbed Box for a while, but I just never put it to use. So, that was my project of choice today. I stamped the bloom from Bold Botanicals in Bashful Blue around the white part of my box, and used the Framed Elegance cut file to do my spotlighting. On the oval I stamped the bloom in Early Espresso ink and colored the flower with Copics. I also stamped my Framed Elegance sentiment in Early Espresso. The base I added to my box is an EARLY sneak peek of a cut file I created a LONG time ago that we're finally releasing in March :]
For the top of y box I created a flower using some fabulous satin fabric my dear friend, Broni sent me, and my Beautiful Beech Leaf cut file. I sponged the veins using the cut out and white craft ink after running the leaves through my crimper repeatedly in different directions to break down the fibers and curl the leaves with my fingers.
I added some pretty ribbon and a bow pinned down with a brad. Last but not least, I added my Earl Grey Black Tea that matched beautifully!
Have a great week ♥
