AW33: Lovely as a Tree Sympathy Card

http://aroundtheworldstampinchallenges.blogspot.ca/2015/01/aw33-sketchbocetoskizzeschets.html
It's time for another Around the World Challenge! Our Design Team is made up of one talented demonstrator from each country/market where Stampin' Up! operates. I love seeing how stampers Around the World interpret each new challenge. I hope you'll play along with us! Click here to see all the details of the newest challenge.

This month, we're doing sketch challenges. I need to make six sympathy cards, so I used this challenge sketch as inspiration for my card layout. Instead of adding an embellishment in the middle, I created a negative spotlight on the stamped image. Leave me a comment and let me know what you think of this clean and simple card!

[Edited on 1-19-15 to add video] The secret is that there are two pieces of cardstock. In other words, I didn't magically stamp the image perfectly on the layer underneath! I stamped it on a small piece, lined it up under the window and then layered it on the same color cardstock. Check out the video tutorial below and it will make more sense!

    I think the negative spotlight is a yet another great way to showcase this wonderful image. A pity it had to be for a Sympathy Card.

    This is a wonderful new-to-me way to create the moon, and it is especially effective with good ole Lovely as a Tree. Thank you for sharing!
