CAS[E] this Sketch #361

I had that sweet Potted set from Waffle Flower out on my craft table, so I took it for another spin - this time onto Bristol paper!  All for the love of Brian's Sketch #361:

 
It wasn't hard to shine the spotlight on that gorgeous blooming cacti …
 

 
 
We are still [not so patiently] awaiting our first bloom on the cacti we've planted … until then, I am happy to paint them!
 
Hope you'll find just the perfect thing for Brian's circle in Sketch #361!  Let's go see what he put the spotlight on...

I just did a spotlight card for another challenge but I guess I'd better do another one for CTS. It worked well with your cacti stamp, Michele, and I love the inky background.

You know I have never done a spotlight card? It makes me want to seeing this stunner... This changes that stamp completely... I love it!

How are you SO crazy creative?! This is such a spectacular way to add a pop of color - I can't wait to see if I can pull it off! BTW - I think I need to add a rolodex to my desk titled, Michele's Amazing Ideas :) I hope that little succulent blooms swiftly - ours have started sprouting, just a few more days now!

What a great way to use the spotlighting technique Michelle - so effective! Good luck with that cactus - it takes real patience to wait for a bloom, for sure!
