Make It Monday #227: Focal Clusters


Today's card is just a cute little one that I made for a friend who is going through a tough time.  I hope that this card will bring her a little joy and sunshine.  She deserves it.
This technique is called Focal Clusters and you can see how Lexi does it HERE.
Once you find some stamps that fit together, it is quite easy and turns out very nice.  I love what I got on this card.

I am entering this card in the Make it Monday #227 challenge.
Thanks so much for stopping by, your encouraging comments as my greatest joy.
Have a great day!

    Wonderful how you combined the shining sun with the flowers. I actually have both those sets, but have never used them together. Thanks for the inspiration.
