Spotlight technique and new Eureka challenge

digi21201 Butterfly and Bluebonnet

The challenge this week is buttons and bows, I'm stretching it a bit by using my colored circles as the buttons, buttons of color if you will...

 I decided to try a new to me technique.  I always see such pretty cards made using this spotlight technique and that's what I pictured when I first saw this image.  I used my circle die cuts and cut a piece of paper the size of my card front, then laid the circle dies and cut them from that paper.

I then took that piece and laid it over my image and colored through the holes I made.

After I was done coloring I took my pale blue color box cat eye and rubbed through the circles to created the sky.

I think it turned out pretty cool, I'll be doing this more often.
