Focal Point

Good Morning all,
It's time for a brand new challenge at
This fortnight, we want to see you use your
Here's my card!


I used a sentiment by Robert Louis Stevenson, which I found on the internet.
I think it's perfect for a sympathy card.
I cut out the sentiment with a nestie,
then inked with Old Paper distress ink whilst still in the die.
I used this sketch 


as inspiration for the layout of this card.


A buff coloured paper matt & a little button threaded with some button
twine are the only additional elements & the inside was left blank,
to write a personal message.


Another little look at my card!
Thanks so much for stopping by!
Can't wait to see what you create for the challenge.
