SweetStamps #59: Spotlight

Hello my sweet bloggers-
Today at SweetStamps we have a super fun challenge for you. 
I love trying new techniques and this technique I have only done twice. 
So it is was really nice refresher and i love how my card came out!

This weeks challenge at SweetStamps is:
SPOTLIGHT or REVERSE SPOTLIGHT

If you have never heard or seen this technique before, here is a great tutorial that Beate created for Splitcoaststamper. She gives you two ways of doing this technique and her work is fabulous. 

Here is my card for today's challenge:
Is that gorgeous????  I love the way this card came together...I really do!!
Sorry it's been awhile since I've put a card together and I am trying to get back in the swing of things, so when my card came together this beautiful, I have to toot my own horn for a minute!  LOL!!!  

The stamp I used was the beautiful image is called Vertical Pansies, stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored it with my Copic markers.
