Considering this is a one layer card, not bad getting all these challenges in (out of town for a few days caring for my beloved grands). But this was challenging, believe it or not. I had so much trouble with straightness, more than usual. My eyes do not work together so straightness is always a challenge. I kept today's challenge to use twine the simplest part because I was going crazy. Was going to do something more interesting, let it go, Jean.

I can relate to the eye thing, Jean (a macular hole 6 years ago left me with skewed vision - but we carry on don't we - I do tend to use more deckle or wavy edges now so hopefully a little off-kilter isn't as obvious) I think you did a great job on the amalgam of challenges. Nicely done on the tone-on-tone stenciling - the blue scattering of dots gives it all a nice lift and balances the blues in your cording.

That stencilled image is fun. I am sure it's a leaf, but it makes me think of an x-ray of a spine. In a nice way, I really like it. And the repeated sentiment. Nothing wrong with using twine simply, it still adds a lot of texture and interest.

This is a wonderful card1 I love the way the sentiment is repeated. It really emphasizes it that way! And this world could use more emphasis on love and kindness!

Gorgeous card! Great use of the sketch and I think you did a terrific job with the straightness of this. I totally know what you mean about eyes not working to see straight, I feel that way about mine when I am trying to straighten something.
