Inkspirational Challenge #316 - Designer's Choice - Spotlight Technique

Welcome back to Inkspirational; glad you're joining us.

For our Designer's Choice Challenge, our lovely Pia invites us to use the SPOTLIGHT TECHNIQUE on our cards/projects.  You're likely familiar with this technique, but just as an in-a-nutshell refresher, at the basic level it involves 'spotlighting', with colour, portions of a black and white image. Of course, many variations exist in showcasing what you're spotlighting so...be creative with your choices. 

As always, the Inkspirational designers have wonderful inspiration for you:

Julia

Pia

Marina

Marlena

Nonni
