For today's FS (Betty) kittystamp. I don't know her but she has a lovely and interesting gallery. She likes to construct, which I admire. I chose this to CASE: Spinner Card made with Punches by kittystamp at Splitcoaststampers
Not that much similar but it did look a bit like a spotlight card so I took the opportunity to do the 2021Blitz5 tutorial...die cut spotlight. I heat embossed the large background stamp with clear, cut out the oval and watercolored it with shimmery paints. Mistletoe berries are white so I used some shimmery white, silver and gold. The leaves are a combo of greens and a little light blue.
The only kisses I want are from my kids and granddaughters. I'm taking the grands to see The Nutcracker in Milwaukee in a few weeks. My goal is to stop giving them a lot of 'stuff', although I never have truly done that and have more 'experiences' with them. I meant to start last year but we know what happened.

Cool images here, Jean, and I really like this way to do spotlight! Great idea so build memories instead of a bunch of stuff - that is admirable for sure. Hugz

Excellent spotlighting card, and yay that you can treat your grands this year! My mother always bought Nutcracker tickets for any of her offspring that wanted to go and those are wonderful memories.

I always enjoy spotlight stamped card. Yours is lovely with that wonderful botanical. How great to start that tradition of sharing experiences. I think those things create the kind of memories and family traditions that long outlast the usefulness of most gifts. Enjoy every moment of it.
