Virginia's View Challenge #24: Focal Point

Hello, friends!  It is a rainy Saturday here in New Jersey.  The east coast of the US is getting hit by Hurricane Matthew right now; luckily we are on the far outer fringes, just expecting rain and clouds today.  My thoughts and prayers to all those, world-wide, who have been affected by this slow-moving, powerful and devastating hurricane.


I wanted to share a birthday card I made for my older brother's 50th birthday.  I think the focal point is pretty clear...I certainly tried to let it take center stage on this clean and simple card!  I am entering this card into the current Virginia's View Challenge #24: Focal Point.


I dry embossed the white card base using a Hero Arts/Sizzix embossing folder.  In the "label" section, I adhered the number 50 (die cut from silver foam paper).  It is very sparkly in real life...especially when the light hits it!  (Not likely happening any time today due to the rain, but I tried!)

I don't think he reads my blog, but just in case...Happy 50th Birthday, Joe!  I hope your birthday is awesome and your year ahead is full of joy!

Thanks for stopping by,
Judy

    Fantastic focal point, Judy! The big 5-0 is getting to be a theme around my circles as well. I'll have to CASE this!
