Inky Fingers at Sentimental Sundays

Hope you're all having a lovely weekend :)  Today's challenge at Sentimental Sundays is "Inky Fingers" (unconventional stamping, materials or techniques - with a sentiment).  Well this really got me thinking, I was going to do some distressed sort of vintage creation but as you can see that didn't happen lol (I just can't stop making pretty & girly cards at the mo lol).  

So I decided to try the "Spotlight" technique which (I believe) is where you stamp an image twice, leave part (or most) of the first image uncoloured & cut out a section (any shape) of the second image, colour it & line it up with the first image (or I guess you could do it the other way round) - anyway that's what I did.  I love this cute stamp from LOTV & I coloured part with ProMarkers, the papers are Papermania "Sweet Nothings".  I did some machine stitching & used my cupcake border punch for the first time, finishing off with lace, flowers, pearls & a greeting.  I hope you will get your thinking caps on & give this challenge a go.  Don't forget fab free sentiments every week.
