As we make our way through the song, "The Twelve Days of Christmas", I also make my way through my Graphic 45 paper pad of the same name. This card uses the spotlight technique whereby I cut out a few images from the patterned paper, backed them with contrasting colors, and popped them up with foam tape for dimension. It's a great way to highlight images on a busy pattern without covering any of it up. I added borders to the top and bottom and a bit of jute twine and chipboard embellishments from the same collection.
