Focal Clusters with PTI

Good morning PTI friends. It's a dark and dreary day here in Maine but the sun is shining with this cheerful card! I finally found time to get in my craft room to make a card for the MIM Challenge. This week was Lexi's turn and I love her idea of creating focal clusters. I have to admit that this one really challenged me in a good way. I had a hard time thinking of sets that I could put together to do this technique with. Here's what I came up with.

I used the second helping of Bowl of Sunshine and Tea for Two Additions to make my focal cluster. The colors are a bit bright and were hard to photograph. I did add some clear Wink Of Stella to the lemons but I don't think you can see it in the photograph.
I wanted to give it another try, but this one isn't a favorite. I used the colors from The Card Concept

For this card, I used Note Niblets and went with the angled panel like Lexi did on one of her cards. I love that look and don't think to do it very often.

I'll also be adding this card to the Word Art Wednesday Challenge.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Blessings~ Birgit
