Spring Spotlight!

Hellooooo My Dearrrr Crafters!!

When I enter into the Blog-land, I keep getting inspired! Inspirations and new techniques keep me in high-spirits!;) Here is my first card this month! :)

Theme: 

Spring is around the corner and is the season which brings you close to nature! I decided to make a spring card. I used this butterfly Freebie design from All Dress Up .

Sketch:

I am following this week STAMPlorations Challenge # 29 for the card which is :

Technique:

I saw SPOTLIGHTING technique around the Blog world and thought of  incorporating it! I have also used Stamping( KaiserCraft Flutter Stamp) and Water-coloring technique(Tim Holtz distress ink- Wild Honey, Mowed Lawn, Seedless Preserves and Worn Lipstick.) for the butterflies. I decided to use soft colors for the background, so daubbed Mowed Lawn distress ink on the card base and spotlight circles. I Faux Stitched the card using Black Pigma Marker. For the sentiment I used Bo Bunny(Sentiments Stamp) with Black Soot Tim Holtz Distress ink. I wanted to keep a lot of white space in this card. Hence, all the white!

Hope you guys like it! Tell me how do you find this card? :)
