Spotlighting Morning Glories

I have always loved this quote- "Let us be grateful for those who make our souls blossom." Sometimes, in life, we are lucky enough to be graced with wonderful people who make our souls blossom.  I am so very grateful for those gifts that have been given to me-a loving family and caring, compassionate friends- people who truly make my soul blossom. 

I was thinking about those people as the inspiration for my card.

Dont you just love this floral image?  It comes from Papertrey Ink's Morning Glories set.  I love the bright blue to lilac colors of morning glories, and they are one of my favorite kinds of flowers. 

Here is a close-up of the spotlighted image.  I thought spotlighting parts of this flower would stand out against the white paper.  If you want to read more about the spotlighting tecchnique, click HERE.

Very nice spotlighting. I've done it a few times, but wasn't really happy. I love how you did it though!
